Machjo, strangely enough I remember reading a sci fi story with a similar theme. This was during Idi Amin’s reign in Uganda. I think at that time Nyerere was the leader of Tanzania.
Rather than invade Uganda and chase Amin out of Uganda (as it actually happened), Nyerere did not want a war, so Amin challenged Nyerere to a fight, with Amin’s one hand tied behind his back. Amin was a huge big man, Nyerere was a small man, so it evened out the odds somewhat.
But most of the story described their fight. It was quite a fascinating story.
So what do ya think, SJP? It really wouldn't be much lower than the partisan squabbles this country is facing already, would it?
Layton is by far the more fit and bigger man, however, the guy is waayy full of hot air... He's a talker and more often than not, those guys get shamed.
All in all, my money would be on Duceppe... He's had his back against the wall for a long time now and I'd wager he'd come out of the gates like a rabid dog. Harper - it's tough to say. He may have a few tricks up his sleeve (feign injury and then chop 'em in the throat). Ignatieff? Doubtful. He is a self described 'cosmopolitan' which translates into a metrosexual.. He might stand a fighting chance if he's able to sneak his purse into the fight and clock the closest opponent (with his eyes squeezed shut and screaming like a school-girl).
Oh, the most accurate description so far. Good work. I could so visualize that one.
Thanks... Sadly, not only can I visualize it, but based on the childish and pre-pubescent bickering exemplified by all leaders, I often do visualize them clawing and scratching at one another.

So what do you think, Ron? Seeing how partisan our system's become already, it really wouldn't be much of a drop in standards now, would it? We're almost that low already.
