The Blame Game
Angry in TO - soon to be heading to Ottawa to work for the new government (his words, not mine) - raises some very interesting points about Jack Layton and the NDP.
Layton, as previously stated has mostly run a good campaign and their platform (some holes not withstanding) is THEIR best in years. Don't confuse this with the best in the election, but it is a step in the RIGHT direction for the federal NDP.
I agree with most of the article. Layton gambled and has lost big time. His choice to pull the plug on this government will be analyzed inside and outside party circles. I am not given that his party will not make a break through (Election Prediction Part THREE) that the results will be kind.
He can rest assured that he is now off the Paul and Shelia Martin christmas card list.
