Flawed
system, not poor leaders, hurting
Canada (
Toronto Star)
They have a lot of work to
do
By
Angelo Persichilli THE HILL TIMES
While
politicians may be on holiday, politics is not. Presently, the
economic challenges have forced all political organizations to
abandon the traditional gospel they have preached for years,
sailing in a stormy sea without their traditional compass.
Never before have words like Conservatives and Liberals, left
or right, been as empty of any political significance as they
have been during this economic crisis.
Governments of
all stripes reacted to the economic tsunami by throwing at it
whatever they could; much like desperate people throwing
furniture at a much more powerful aggressor.
People
were confused but generally very understanding of the
unprecedented situation.
However, when Parliament
resumes in the fall and the fog of war lifts, Canadians are
expecting much more than a knee-jerk reaction from their
leaders. The electorate wants a plan and the political
organizations must regain their identity.
Let's take a
look at the current situation of the major political
organizations at a time when their leaders are ready to hit
the barbecue
circuit.
