In the Globe and Mail this weekend, Jeffrey Simpson contributes a good column headed An opposition leader has a lousy job. The subhead reads: Unless Liberals reconnect with what once made them compelling, it matters little who they follow.
I don't need to add a summary. Let me simply quote the last two paragraphs.
Today's Liberal Party has forgotten, or is afraid to promote, what it used to stand for: a strong central government, an activist state, an engaged and creative foreign policy and, more recently, balanced budgets and debt reduction.
Unless the party reconnects with what once made it compelling for so many, although repellent to others, it doesn't much matter who the leader is.
Well said, Mr. Simpson!
