Ignatieff fights back with 'patient hard work'
Liberal Leader stands by his principles, says party ‘is doing fine'
- John Ivison: Ignatieff takes a divided party and makes it worse
-
Parliament Hill was abuzz with rumours about Liberals crossing the floor to join the Conservatives yesterday - a mystery all the more intriguing because no one could track down the identity of the potential defectors.
Here's a thought -- maybe the apostate is Michael Ignatieff himself. How's that for a plan so cunning, in the words of Blackadder, you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel? The Liberal leader pursues a scorched earth policy, reduces the party's support to sub-Stephane Dion levels and then deserts his post for the Tories. Far-fetched admittedly but it's the only account that adequately explains the leadership's apparent infatuation for self-immolation.
