It's hard to say whether he's truly a dissenter, or simply recognises that as the front-runner in the leadership race, he has nothing to gain by stepping into the spotlight right now. When it comes to the convention in May, Liberals are going to want someone who's as far as possible from this coalition, regardless of whether the Liberals are in power or near extinction at that time. And if elected, he'd have the authority to punt pretty much everyone involved. I'm looking forward to when this group of people start to release their autbiographies a few years, so we can find out what's been going on behind the scenes.
