Fleishman Hillard: The Political View

There is no discipline in the Liberal ranks today. Backbenchers can vote against their party. Critics can question their OWN policies. The spouses of former leaders can attack him at will. Former employees can question his credibility. All apparently without consequence.

If you let your own caucus run roughshod over you, how can you expect to govern the country?

That’s the way it was under John Turner, and it didn’t end well for him. Unless the OLO can smack a little discipline into its own caucus… history WILL repeat itself.
