PoliticsRespun has an interesting analysis which every Liberal member intent on rebuilding the shattered party into a national progressive centre-left party should read very carefully indeed.
Among the nuggets in the PoliticsRespun post is a hint about what we need to do to become the governing party yet again:
Another major feature of this election has to be the non–voter. While voter turnout did increase somewhat from 58.8% to 61.4% in this election, the largest bloc of voters in Canada continues to be people who do not vote at all in federal elections...There are 3,361,426 people in Ontario alone that did not cast a ballot in this election and yet the 2,455,900 electors in Ontario that supported the Conservative party picked up 73 seats in Ontario, that’s 68.9% of seats, with 44.4% of the popular vote.
