Agreed Ian, with one proviso. That Angus Reid poll shows sntorg support for Kwan, so any suggestion that the party should take some kind of punitive action against her for being a @#)($&*!@#^ is simply not on. As far as I am concerned, the job of interim and permanent leader should be assigned to one of the baked dozen. Let one of them take the risk of standing in front of the rest of them. I kind of like Golden school principal Norm MacDonald for that role. How Norm's nice guy schtick would do in a TV debate up against Kevin Machine Gun Falcon will be interesting to see. As for handling his own parliamentarians, well, I hope he's either got nerves of steel or a bottomless Prozac prescription. He'll have to live out his term as Leader be it a week, a few months, even a year or two at the very outside, knowing better than any of us that each tick of the clock he hears is one tick closer to the last.To ask anyone else to step in, given that these people are fantastically exhilirated and super-confident, having just won a total victory, is kind of nuts. No one else can even contemplate let alone accept that kind of risk.
