The Failure of Mr. Ignatieff

Can Micheal Ignatieff succeed as leader of the Liberal party?  How you define ‘succeed’ will determine your answer. Mr. Ignatieff may make a telegenic figure head, but he seems a poor candidate to take the reins of power. In the first case, Mr. Ignatieff has avoided any confrontation that might actually result in the fall of the Harper conservatives. In the second case Mr. Ignatieff has refused to consider an incremental approach to taking power. A lesson by the way, that he should learn from Mr. Harper, who is an expert at getting what he wants, one small step at a time.
