Inta-liberals do not for the vast majority of the time become active members, and should not be voting for the leader.<BR/><BR/>Ethnic communities are most definately used and manipulated by organizers of both the conservative and liberal kind.<BR/><BR/>I think his first paragraph is the best and is still happening quite actively in Quebec and in at least one leadership campaign,and I don't mean Volpe's.<BR/><BR/>I have been trying to tell his campaign that this kind of membership drive and organizing doesn't help the party it hurts it, but they won't listen. If he wins I have no doubt that we will lose the next election partly because of how his leadership bid was orchestrated and run.S.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00696246515215639169noreply@blogger.com
