The Elusive Liberal Platform

Where is the Liberal election platform?

It was supposed to be all ready to go in June 2009.

It was supposed to have been ready when Ignatieff uttered his famous "Mr. Harper, your time is up." back in September 2009.

So here we are in late March 2010 and what does Michael Ignatieff have to say about that elusive Liberal election platform now:

"The conference will be a key step in the development of the Liberal Party's platform for the next general election."

  1. One has to remember what a Liberal party platform actually is -- a political prop to be discarded at their earliest convenience.

    Campaign from the left -- then take the money and run: the Liberal Party MO.

  3. -"Where is the Liberal Platform?"

    -It's on the CPC website labelled "Conservative Platform".

  6. When is the next Liberal convention scheduled? It is high time for a leadership review.

    I doubt that he would survive one.

  7. I don't think Libs have a leadership review until 2011, 2 years after Iffy was crowned.

  8. Iggy has said the solution to everything is to get the deciders in one room. Does that mean he is going to call on Pres G.W. Bush. Wasn't it him who said, I am the decider.

  9. We don't need a leadership change. Ignatieff has been more stable than Dion in getting his team to vote for the CPC Agenda.

    In September he had his one time pass. In March he may have ordered 29 Liberals to skip work.

    Last week, well... cut the guy some slack.

    Do we want to see and hear Bob Rae more?

    Denis Coderre is in the penalty box no more "starving children unless we pass 360 EI"

    Let Iggy qualify for his pension. With his leadership, the party is busy fighting amongst itself for the next leader.

    I sense almost three parts. Quebec, Iffy Rosedale, Bob Rae left.

  10. I was shocked to learn that two tier health care is going to become Liberal policy. I thought the Liberals told us that was a bad thing?

  12. I think I have found the liberal platform, the party is trying to expense it as a renovation tax credit.

  13. The Liberals have
    - no policies
    - no bench strength
    - no money
    - no leadership

    And they still poll around 30%.

  14. AA - I was wondering the same thing when I read that - smoke and mirrors, and we'll all forget what a politician says within a year, right? Because we're lemmings.
