The socialist party aka Liberal party is forever the political party of corruption, embezzlement and kickbacks.
My only question is, how in the world can such a corrupt party still be a political party? Imagine, a mafia like political party dolling out hundreds of millions of dollars to their friends and friends` businesses who in turn do little or sometimes nothing for the money, then kick back large portions of those millions in the form of donations back to the party.
Th socialist, aka Liberal party should have been branded as a mafia and outlawed.
Thats typical of a party that has stayed in power to long and thus became stale. Staying in power resulted in bribing the populace. That can only run so long before the opposition gains power by shear good ideas. I always viewed Paul Martin as stop gap or holding pattern PM until the Liberal Party could come up with something better, in which they didn’t. I think the Conservative Party will lose when they cease having good ideas that resonate with the populace.
It was largely the fault of the conservatives. The Liberals won the 1993 election because Brian Mulroney’s Conservatives split three ways- the small-c conservatives started the Reform Party, the fiscally and socially conservative Québec nationalists formed the separatist Bloc Québecois and the “Red Tories” remained. It took a decade for them to rebuild the coalition.
