the liberal party and it's members are two very different groups of people. the conventions are always very, very far to the left of what actually happens, when they govern.

it's fun to attack the liberals as campaigning on the left and governing on the right, but the truth is that that's as much of an observation on the disconnect between the party and it's members as it is anything else.

if history is any guide, they will pass a resolution and the prime minister will act like it never happened.

but, these conventions also define the discourse, so let's hope they ramp it up.
