- Kelly McParland: The Liberals' one-woman lunatic fringe
-
One advantage the old Liberal party had over its rivals was the presence in both competing camps of fringe elements with bad timing.
Just when things were looking up for the Tories or NDP you could count on some left-wing fruitcake or right-wing nutbar to pipe up with something outrageous to say, undermining the credibility of the entire party. Somebody would notice a website showing the local New Democrat candidate with no pants in a field of marijuana plants, or a video would mysteriously surface of a backwoods neanderthal with a mouldering Conservative party membership, railing about how immigrants should all be sent back where they came from.
It never seemed fair that the Liberals managed to avoid similar outbursts, perhaps because zealots usually have strong beliefs and Liberals tend to change their convictions according to the prevailing poll numbers, making it harder to keep up with them. So thank God for Hedy Fry, the MP from Vancouver, who has firmly established herself as a one-woman lunatic fringe entrenched firmly at the heart of the Liberal party.
