The problem with the Liberals is, given all of their foibles, consider the alternatives. OMG there are no alternatives. So the Liberals will be in power until the conservatives provide an option that is palatable to the majority of the voters in the country (read more progressive than conservative). In other words a centrist conservative gov't. hey! that's what the Liberals are now!
So, I guess that what people want is to turf the old group of guys that are in power who are hold-overs from the Chretien era. But the Liberals wouldn't have gained such a strong foothold on power if it wasn't for the hate engendered by the Mulroney PC's. People always seem to forget the cyclic nature of voter preference in this country. It seems power is held by the party that is least hated. And it changes not based on policy, but on the desire to change.
