The leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada is open, and the son of the late Pierre Trudeau is seeking the job. Justin Trudeau represents his campaign as an Obama-style mass movement. But there's a curious lack of enthusiasm among those masses ….
From the Globe & Mail:
Less than a third of the almost 300,000 members and supporters who signed up to choose the Liberal party’s next leader have so far registered to vote, prompting front-runner Justin Trudeau’s camp to complain about a host of technical glitches and request a one-week extension on registration.
With only three days left to register, just 89,000 had registered by Monday evening.
