Grits Leadership Race and The Great Divide

The divide has always been there, left centre and right.

Just the last couple of years it seems to have been blurred somewhat by the longstanding Liberal government. With the Liberal leadership race picking up (and filling up) the divide begins to open like a spring flower.

With individuals like Mr. Ignatieff, Mr. Rae and social-minded puckstopper Ken Dryden (who will soon toss his goalie mask into the leadership race), the Grits are bound to make the shift start back towards the centre. This will help make clear the priorities of each party by separating Tory and Liberal ideas which seem to have grown very close in the last ten plus years.

No matter which leader they end up with in the end you can be sure of two simple facts. The show will be worth the price of admission and major priority changes with definitely separate the old Martin Libs from the new party.

Surely that will be enough shift to give them another decade in power, right?
