I dunno, I for one am TIRED of the arrogance. I love Chretien for his CONFIDENCE, but hated the arrogance it led to.
In my next Prime Minister I'm looking for a down to earth "one of the people" attitude. I've always been a Liberal supporter but its HARD to get behind the banner now. Of course there's always been corruption in the government, and there always will be, but the way the Liberals are managing scandal after scandal with deflections.....
I'm too bloody naive to become too involved in government. I honestly, truthfully still believe that democracy is for the people. The everyday people. Lifetime politicians anger me. Why can't we get Joe Blow from down the block who has the nice lawn and the older Volvo to run for politics. Someone honest, who CARES about his constituents?
I've shifted from Liberal to NDP a bit lately based not on platform, but on the fact that the NDP MP we have is goddamned honest. And he WILL stop on the street and talk to you about hockey or taxes. Where are the politicians like THAT?
Sigh, threadjack over
