I once joked that if I was Prime Minister with both my parents serving as Chief of Staff and Principal Secretary, that I would fire both of them in a New-York-Minute if my polling went astray.
That's what Michael did as Liberal leader and now it's Andrew's turn. Of course, I remain consistent and am enthusiastically in favour.
However, is it also symptomatic of a leadership problem that will be difficult, if not impossible to mend? Unfortunately, that was the case with Ignatieff and likely will also be with Scheer.
Cleaning house internally is always good but can be indicative of a leadership that is highly likely to be unrecoverable.
That's certainly what happened with Michael and may very well be the case with Scheer.
Conservatives gathering next April have some serious thinking to do. But none of that will be effective without resolute, drastic action on leadership. Believe me. Conservatives just don't have what it takes to ditch Scheer and embrace Ambrose. Liberals in general, and Trudeau in particular, are no doubt counting exactly on that.
