The Deal was: You The Membership Accept the Anti-Democratic Installation of Iggy As Leader And Iggy Will Lead Us Back To Power. Iggy has broken his part of the deal. He must resign. Under the new rules, it's easy to have quick and dirty leadership race. Ideas conference? Let's have the membership explore ideas through a properly democratic race, as in 2006. Iggy can of course run again, if he wishes. But one cannot justify the continued leadership of a man, who, with his "garde rapprochée", from the night of Dec 2, 2006, when Dion won, went all out to destroy the elected leader, achieving his post-election overthrow, then his dismissal as interim leader, and then, against all ethics, decency & good sense, got Himself installed as leader by party insiders: as Rae said at the time, never seen the like in all his years in politics. The only justification for such devious anti-democratic behaviour was "Iggy Is A Winner! Iggy Will Win!". But he won't, he can't, he's a paper tiger, a dud. It's ridiculous. To engage in such base politicking so as to make the Great Intriguer our leader...and he's useless? Iggiots, don't argue with me, argue with Canadians: your guy is doing worse than the decent Dion you did all you could to destroy. Imagine what Dion could have achieved if you'd been good, democracy-respecting Liberals? But here we are. To draft Iggy in from Harvard, strongarm him into a safe constituency, try to bully him into the leadership, not accept the verdict of the membership, overthrow the elected leader, prevent a democratic leadership race, and get Iggy installed as leader, AND HAVE HIM FAIL?! It's a really bad joke. At least Richard III and Macbeth had some mojo. But your guy sucks. He's not even good at playing his role. I mean, he SUCKS. Given that, what's he good for? What was it all for?
The whole illogic of the coup de parti was that we urgently needed a stronger leader than Dion to either face an election or to give a coalition government greater legitimacy. But then Iggy had us abandon the coalition and support the government. So TIME WAS NOT A FACTOR, ONLY THE IGGIOTS' POWERLUST. But then we were assured it was a clever plan (shades of Black Adder) that would have Iggy soon lead us to victory without that troublesome coalition. But he has FAILED. And given where we are, and the lay of the land, there is no question he will continue to fail. So the whole thing was not just a shameful sham, but completely incompetent as well. Face it: Iggy has no clothes and neither do his useless Iggiots. Look at their track record: Turner, Martin, Manley, & now Iggy. These are the geniuses we're supposed to trust? Guys, the country is not Bay Street, eh? But you'll never understand, will you? Poor dears.
It is completely mad to follow a unelected leader and his devious crew down the path to ever worse defeat. If you're in a hole, stop digging. Where does it say we're obliged to be lemmings and follow them over the cliff? It would be one thing if Iggy could say he was the democratically-chosen, legitimate leader. But he's not. We owe him nothing. Well, actually, it's worse than that: he owes us! He who lives by the coup...
Be rational. Do a cost-benefit analysis. A quick and dirty leadership race over Christmas, under the new rules, with an infusion of ideas, enthusiasm, members and optimism, or more of this? We're selling out our most cherished pan-Canadian principles, linguistic rights and our most devoted suporters? Is there any Liberal principle which Iggy & the Iggiots won't betray? (Democracy, Strong Canada vs. QC as Nation with own diplomatic, securities' representation, Peacemakers vs. Afghanistan, Language Rights, etc). It's bad enough to sell out. But it doesn't make sense to sell out FOR NOTHING! WTF?!
With Iggy & the Iggiots, as things stand, we're doomed. With a democratically elected leader, even Iggy, things can only get better. Liberals, get up, stand up, stand up for your rights, for the party & for Canada.
