Who Would Take His Place?

John Ivison: No cake for the caucus at Harper's party

No-one could ever accuse Stephen Harper of being gregarious. The Prime Minister hosted a gathering of friends and staff at 24 Sussex Drive last Saturday to celebrate his 50th birthday and neglected to invite any of his Cabinet or caucus colleagues.

But the lack of warm, fuzzy feelings between the Conservative leader and his MPs does not mean that they are plotting against him. Nor has the modest up-tick in Liberal support in recent opinion polls resulted in Mr. Harper abandoning all hope of re-election.

A couple of recent opinion columns have suggested that the Prime Minister could be getting ready to take a walk in the snow before the next election. Yet it is not immediately clear what formed the basis for this speculation, save perhaps wishful thinking. Senior Conservatives suggest neither a coup d’etat nor a resignation are imminent.
