St. Edward of Broadbent tells Tim Naumetz of Some Newspaper I clipped on line, The Hill Times I think, that "The Liberal Party of Canada is 'withering away' and its members, who over the last week obliquely hinted of a potential merger with the NDP, really have only one choice, says Ed Broadbent, former New Democrat leader and the party's elder statesman."
Before I continue let me point out that, by the record, Mr. Broadbent is the worst MP in the history of history. Exactly zero of the bills he brought forward during his career on Parliament Hill ever made it. To be sure if any of them did a dipper or twelve will point out my foibles. In fact he was Neroesque, fiddling while the major employer in his riding of Oshawa, General Motors, was burning.
He does make a series of good points "...pointing to the 103 seats his party won last May compared to the 34 that elected Liberals, with 32 of them incumbents, said he is convinced the Liberal decline is only beginning.
'What's happening in the Liberal Party, I think, is what happened in Britain and what happened in Western Europe, it's withering away. History can turn around, I'm not saying it's a permanent tendency and progressive people as in Europe, where they went into social democratic, socialist parties and others went into the Conservative parties,' he said, predicting a two-party system at some point."
Brill.
