Well, as it appears I am one of the few Liberals on this forum, I feel it is my duty to give the public at least 10 good reasons to vote Liberal in 2008 (yes, there will probably be an election this year). One reason a day to keep our fans coming back for more, although sub-reasons and commentary will flow from the main reason.
Reason #10
The Liberals have a broader base of talent than the Conservatives or any other opposition party.
We have Bob Rae, Ignatieff, Dion, and Kennedy. That doesn't even include the numerous former Cabinet Ministers and Pierre Trudeau's son who will contest the next election.
When in power the Liberals more evenly shared power and responsibility. With Harper, he calls all the shots. There was even a Cabinet Minister of Asian decent who resigned because he could not be an effective minister in the Harper government because Harper wanted to do everything and not share.
Basically, its a team approach with the Liberals and a one man approach with the Conservatives.
Also, when Chretien and Martin were in power, there was a position for the Deputy Prime Minister. Harper nullified this position because he wants all the power for himself, even when he is abroad on government business.
Now, ask yourself, who do the Conservatives have who can compare to the impressive list aforementioned above? If Harper dies of a heart attack tomorrow who else who is fluent in both England and French who can even lead the Conservatives?
