Everyone is running late in Liberal land, and there’s little time left for Trudeau to shake the effects of each bout with the backbenchers
Is the Liberal rebellion over? What was the outcome? A lot of the people who were in the caucus room don’t really know.should step down? “Oh, I would think there’s a second and a third and a fourth and a fifth,” Liberal MP Marcus Powlowski said just outside Parliament.
What comes next? There’s a request for a response next week but it’s not at all clear what that means. A lot of MPs came out with happy talking points about being united in believing they have to fight Conservative Leader. It’s a kind of unity. But there is still that minor point of disagreement among Liberals about who will lead the Liberal Party.
Presumably, the Prime Minister will try to weather the storm and stay on. But even so, Mr. Trudeau is already a contested leader. Voters questioning if he has stuck around too long can now see him digging in despite the open objections of two dozen Liberal MPs.In fact, some of Mr. Trudeau’s supporters argue that it’s too late for divisions over the leadership. But Mr. Trudeau’s team hasn’t been known for getting ahead of it.
