Another turnaround, Bob Rae has stepped down for his bid at the Liberal Leadership. Dion announced his formal step down just before hand, so that leaves Michael Ignatieff as the new Liberal Leader! What a stunning turn of events. Now lets think about this, the Liberal Party has forgone a democractic leadership process and is going to have a coronation for Michael Ignatieff. How undemocratic from a party who always processed the will of its membership. Secondly, they will probably continue with the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Coalition and still force a non-confidence vote when parliament resumes in January. Which means another undemocratic process, the Liberals will try to enforce by asking the Governor General that they will be able to form the government. The final result could be a coup d’etat by the Liberals without actually holding a leadership race and a federal election, and with the NDP and Bloc support. Have Canadian voters forgotten that we have the final say, and that Parliament does not exist because MPs exist in Parliament. The democratic process is the most sacred instrument within our soceity and should not be forgotten.
