But what the Liberals need isn't really a leader ------------- it's a change agent
yes, yes - I guess that's a leader
but, the Liberals need moreso an understanding -------------- to understand that they cannot exist as they liked to describe themselves -
running a belief system with their old principles
does that need a leader? ------------------ well, I think it just needs someone to say something that clicks ---------- where the lightbulb goes on
when you get those kinds of lightswitch (lightbulb) moments -
they usually don't come from leaders ----------- they more often come from someone who sits in the room - usually very quiet and then pipes up and says
'you know what? it's over -------- it can't work because of...................'
then - after the light goes on - THEN you need a leader - because you're aware that time has moved on (and the first leader will ask - well, where to now then?)
from what I see - the Liberals still just don't get it -
until they do ------- then, they can't possibly start to look for concepts and ideas for a political force that will work
it's why they are stuck in the wilderness - no one to guide, nowhere to go, no idea where they want to go
they don't need a leader ---------------- they need a revelation
