This week, Sen. Percy Downe went public with his views amid a downward trend in the polls, economic unease and rumour mills churning about potential Liberal leadership contenders readying to replace him.
In a radio interview on The Vassy Kapelos Show Thursday, Downe said he’s hearing from “many members of the caucus” who are concerned and consider the time between now and February as critical for the party to conduct some internal soul-searching about the best path forward.
“It’s quite widespread,” Downe said. When asked why no other Liberals have said publicly what he claims they’ve communicated privately, the senator said they can’t for a range of reasons, including the fact that the party leader signs their nomination forms.
Even with all of that the Conservatives are far more dangerous at the moment and had far worse scandals. If we end up with another liberal minority where all leaders get ditched that would be great for Canadians. Only thing better would be electoral reform so we get actual proportional representation and don’t have to worry about the Conservatives constantly courting fascists
