The political pygmies who surround him seem intent on trying to make him into something he is not — a traditional politician. Ditch any potentially unpopular ideas. Withhold the inconvenient truth about a whole range of issues. Play it safe. Hope that the Harper government defeats itself. There is another strategy, one that aligns more closely with Ignatieff’s character. Let him become the anti-politician that he really is… telling the truth and treating the electorate like mature, responsible grown-ups.
