Iggy’s Lust for the After-Life
December 8, 2008 Canadian Politics No CommentsBy Glendronach
Liberals may feel they finally have someone to save the furniture but the polls show it looks more like they’ve anointed the new head of the underwater salvage team:
A new poll suggests that a proposed Liberal-NDP coalition under Michael Ignatieff’s leadership isn’t much more palatable than an alliance under Stephane Dion.
The Canadian Press-Harris-Decima survey found that only 32 per cent of respondents favoured a coalition led by Dion, with 59 per cent opposed.
Asked if they would support a coalition led by Ignatieff, 38 per cent were supportive, with 50 per cent still opposed.
Last week legal expert Ed Ratushny commented on Newman’s “Politics” that the coalition plotters telegraphed their intentions far too soon and thus never factored in Harper’s ability to fight on. One would have expected a Harvard academic to have drawn some insights from history: even current pop culture flagged this one for him.
