This election gives all citizens, regardless of wealth, a fair shot to be heard and participate in every step of the democratic process
"I still havent decided whheetr Im going to buy a Liberal Party of Canada membership to vote in this race [...]"Sadly I wont, not because Im disinterested but because Liberal members dont vote for their leader; one buys a membership, and in turn selects a delegate who will actually be the one doing the voting for the new Liberal leader, in May... well, if theres not a back-room deal made, first. Sounds quaint, in a late 19th-century sort of way.But for a party arguably in need of new ideas and an infusion of fresh faces, this seems really passe9 and a touch undemocratic.And, no, Im whos thinking that. - Posted on : 20-November-2013
