fellowtraveller Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Any speculation on the future of the PM? Overall, is he right now an asset or a liability to the Liberal Party? They have managed, barely, to put off the election - likely for a year. Will they use that time to put in place a younger leader with less baggage? No matter what he says or does, Martin will be seen as connected to Adscam, part of an Old Guard that taints the party. He is old, and looks exhausted. I do not see Stronach as ever leading the Liberals or even being a serious contender. Frank MacKenna - the saviour returning from the wilderness after a short stint hning an international statesman image? Perhaps a wild card, Brian Tobin?

Conrad Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 It is time for some of our true liberals to run for leadership.These people have crossed the floor from other parties and therefore truly believe in our tactics to remain in power.I believe our leader has put them on the front stage of the liberal party for no other reason,and he will pass the torch to whichever person has crossed the floor with the most dignity!

ScottBrison Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I just hope Martin doesn't torpedo his eventual successor like Cretien did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
