| Description | On Monday, Michael Ignatieff may well make history – but not in a good way. He could be leading the Liberal Party to a historic defeat. For the first time since 1867, it’s possible the Liberals will form neither the government nor the official opposition.
The Liberals won’t be routed as badly as the Progressive Conservatives were in 1993, when, under the hapless Kim Campbell, they were reduced to two seats. Still, it could be an epic humiliation. The Liberals have never won less than 22.67 per cent of the popular vote (and that was in 1867), but this time they might. This election probably will mark the end of Mr. Ignatieff’s political career, and will surely trigger another round of soul-searching in a party that still can’t grasp why Canadians have rejected it. |
