The Liberals need the NDP

Some reports today are claiming that the Liberals are in trouble because of Ignatieff's shift to the right.

Other reports say that he's blown a major chance to stop Harper.

Given that voting Liberal instead of NDP didn't work in '06 or '08 it's going to be a hard sell in the next election.

The problem is that Ignatieff needs to learn to be a team player. With one right wing party and the BQ getting 50 seats, there's just no way he can get a majority.

The only winning strategy for him is to learn to work with the NDP. He should put fewer resources into winning urban seats and focus on the rural/suburban areas where the Liberals go head to head with the Reformatories.

That's the only way to stop Harper. But I don't think he's listening. It's a shame that Rae didn't win, at least he used to have morals.
