I am pretty disappointed in the low voter turnout that this country saw in the latest election. And while I believe the election was a total waste of taxpayers dollars, I have to say that Liberal Leader Stephane Dion didn't do as poorly as was expected, though he didn't really make anything change for his party or supporters in the latest election. And the reason is simple: he lacks charisma. An academic, he most certainly is. A man of enthusiasm, sure. But a man of passion, no. Or at least not in the language spoken by the majority of those who occupy Canada: English.
This is not to say that Harper is anything close to charismatic or passionate, but he leads the Tories - not exactly known for their outgoing ways.
It will be good for the Liberal party to find a new leader. The party needs some new life and kick to it. The only problem could be insufficient funds. There have been rumblings that those who ran for Liberal leadership with Dion the last time around haven't been able to pay their campaign bills.
Who do you think should be the new party leader?
