coalition
Is the federal Liberal party controlled by a secret society?
The coalition hatched by Layton and Dion would have seen a Liberal PM but the Liberal appointed GG rejected it as an option when she porogued.
Then Dion was dumped super quick, (without any kind of in party election) and his replacement Rejects the idea of being PM in January 2009!
Well, I have seen politics in a lot of countries, but I have never seen this before. Nothing remotely close.
The coalition is dead...long live the coalition!
The Coalition is dead… Long live the Coalition!
