7. I just can't see what they were going for.
They know Martin's best for capitalists, so why kick him?
As a warning, perhaps?

9. With an election probably just months away
Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 03:31 PM by Minstrel Boy
Martin is going to repackage himself centre-left. It's the oldest trick in the Liberals' playbook. Big business knows his credentials so he won't need to prove himself to them in a campaign. He'll raise the spectre of PM Harper or whomever as a united right bogeyman to scare votes away from drifting to Layton and the NDP.

Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 03:46 PM by Holly
you've got it, make us believe we have three different parties, instead of right, almost right and left.
