Harper Ready To Take Over The Liberal Party

[Liberalman]

I was watching the Liberal convention CPAC this weekend and Michael Ignatieff got his crowning glory.

What concerned me was that the Liberals passed a one member one vote resolution when picking a future leader.

This would eliminate future leadership conventions

When the Progressive Conservatives passed a similar resolution they almost lost their party to the New Democrats.

The one member one vote concept is simple you pay your ten dollars to join the party then you can vote for the leader of your choice.

The Reform/Conservatives took over the Progressive Conservatives in the same fashion by all their members buying PC memberships and Harper was able to merge the two parties.

Michael Ignatieff will have to act fast to solve this problem or he will find himself part of Stephen Harpers team and they will force the former Harvard man to supply quarterly reports

The conspiracy nuts will tell you that this is required to create a one party state.

Hmm.... Seems to me that's how I came to have a year-long membership with the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. A neighbour was running for candidacy and he paid for quite a few folks to join (and vote for him) In the end, he lost ... but it was a great party!
