With Dion stepping down (and Iggy likely to succeed this week), is the coalition dead?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Dec 8 '08, 09:15

The coalition only worked because Dion was going to take all the flack. Iggy probably doesn't want that crap on his shoulders.

Iggy was the weakest of them on that idea. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 09:22
Andrew Coyne (likely correctly) just savaged Iggy about his coalition tip-toe. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 09:18 4
- I'd say he let it happen as a power play. forces Dion to step down, gives him the big chair without all that convention nonsense. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 09:22 3
  - Yes, but doesn't Coyne's point about showing leadership at a time of crisis ring true? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 09:28
  - I'm sure Bob Rae's thrilled. True, there still needs to be a convention, but at this point, Bob might as well throw in the towel. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 09:25
  - coup! -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 09:23
