Unity: the way forward

Walkom, writing the column every progressive should read:
“I do really wish there was more science in political science.This is what I have gleaned from the early analysis:
- Voters are moving left, unless they are moving right.
- Incumbency is bad, unless you were re-elected.
- Voters want change AND even more of the same.
- On-the-ground organization and sophisticated micro-targeting work, unless you are a bar-maid canvassing in Las Vegas.
- The separatists are preparing to ramp up their campaigns, and as a first step have left the Canadian House of Commons.”
UPDATE: And Gardner, on the same subject, here.
I just got asked on-air about Ignatieff’s future.
I said he was diplomatic and gracious in his speech, and that he knows that the people of Etobicoke-Lakeshore have now settled the question. I said I expect he will leave in the next few days. He doesn’t have much choice, now.
I said he ran a great campaign, and he did better than anyone expected.
But it’s time for a change in the Liberal Party – from top to bottom.
Oh, and we’ll be back.
…and I don’t see how the Cons can’t get a majority.
