LOL... Watching CBC news. They're essentially saying Ignatieff will be voted as leader by the MPs.

Here's the funny part:

Rae also said on Sunday that a closed-door decision by the Liberal caucus and party executives — both of which are top-heavy with Ignatieff supporters — wouldn't be the right way to choose a permanent leader.

"It can't simply be a small group of people behind closed doors," he said, adding it would be inappropriate.
So, Mr. Rae..

It is NOT okay for MPs to choose the next Liberal Leader, and it should be the rank-and-file of the Liberal party that makes the decision....

... but it IS okay for MPs to form a coalition and choose the next PM?

Ridiculous. If that doesn't show that it is all about power, I don't know what will.
