It has come as a suprise to me that Michael Ignatieff has been able to gain so much support within the party. For a man that has relatively nothing at all to do with the Liberal party for the last three decades, why is he qualified to lead it? His stance on many issues would give a blurred choice between the parties during an election. He is for the continuation for the Afghanistan mission which is heavily favored by the Conservatives. Potential anti-war or people simply against this mission would have no choice but to vote NDP.
What the Liberal party needs is a strong leader that has the experience and ideas to make us Canada's government. Ignatieff is not the person to do this. Already he has shown that he cannot stand against minor attacks from other Liberals during debates and the fact he is already making apologies for things he has said is a sign that he should not lead. The Liberals have enough scandals in our past, and we don't need a new leader coming in with any.
A Liberal party run by Michael Ignatieff is not a party that will be able to create a majority government. Electing him as leader will be handing that position to the Conservatives.
