With nearly a month passed since the delegate elections happened, I want to examine what happened. To start, the delegate results are as follows (with ex-officio):
Ignatieff: 1,471 (28.2%)
Rae: 947 (18.2%)
Kennedy: 825 (15.8%)
Dion:784 (15%)
Dryden: 231 (4.4%)
Volpe: 218 (4.2%)
Brison: 185 (3.6%)
Martha Hall Findlay: 41 (0.8%)
As we can see, the top two candidates are among the worst people to lead the party. How idiotic is it that one of the top contenders would be the leader of a party who only joined the party not even a year ago. Am I the only one that finds something wrong with this? Ignatieff is just totally wrong and unliberal on so many topics. I can only hope that the delegates for the candidates begin supporting Dion with support leaving Rae and Ignatieff.
The actual voting was an embaressment. It took over a week to get atleast two thirds of the results available to the general public. The party needs to modernize it's voting system.
