Lessons for Liberals, and some advice

The Natural Ruling Party of Canada, AKA the Liberal Party, can only do one thing to regain its past glory going forward in to the new 21st Century.

They need to release their grip on the idea that the management of the party at the centre has all of the answers. In addition the party needs to find out what Canadians want in their politicians, and not tell them what they want. Canadians have already noticed that the Liberal Party still has not figured out that they do not have a patent on superiority of ideas or policies, nor do they have the Holy Grail hidden somewhere in Toronto, to persuade Canadians other wise.

The very idea of the the current so called party braintrust, knowing how the next leadership contest will run, shows that shows that they are bound to follow down the same road, that has gotten the Liberal Party where it is today. The party as a whole should remember that it is this group that was inserted by and through the skulduggery of the Martin camp who got the party to that position.

What would make the Liberal Party truly a party of the future and for the Canadians that don't like the Conservatives, or don't vote at all, is to have the leadership convention open to as many people who have something to say, and make it truly virtual.

Whomever the current so called party braintrust thinks they can parachute into the job as leader, or what ever new skulduggery they develop for the next leadership race, will be suspect, and the end results will be suspect too.

It will not have solved the problem of the Liberal Party, just shown a stronger light on the real problems with the party.
