jords on jords.

I like this article for reasons beyond the implication that the Liberal Party’s not completely over. Electoral math has long been the only kind of complicated math I understand (Electoral College ftw!), so the opportunity to nerd out over numbers is always one I welcome with open arms/the internet equivalent of that.

Connecting with voters on an issue-specific level in swing ridings: it’s [partly] how the Conservatives won, and it’s one line on a long list of things that the Liberals will need to do in order to have a chance at returning—at least to official opposition—in the next election.

Still, I’m hesitant to put a lot of faith in any strategy that “gets [the Party] off life support in a hurry,” because I don’t think that addresses the inherent conflict between so-called party insiders and the “grasstops,” that has long been part of the Liberal Party’s history. I’m also not sure how much any of that matters.

Sidebar: This post breaks the first rule of my blog: “politics: do not go to there.”  Also there were way too many colons in that last sentence; for that I apologize.
