As many leaders of the Liberal Party appreciate MP Marc Garneau’s announcement to run for the federal leadership campaign, few fear that the greatest challenge to the former astronaut’s campaign is his perception as a clear cut “back-up” plan to frontrunner Justin Trudeau.
A senior political analyst, Scott Reid, elaborated the mindset of majority of the political observers who indeed acknowledge that Garneau is a strong and worthy candidate, but they still have the same opinion that he is not as good a candidate as Trudeau. A column of another political analyst published on Wednesday, alleged that Garneau is more like “an insurance plan” to the Liberal Party. It was explained that “if Mr. Trudeau should blow himself up over the course of this race, isn’t it great that you’ve got Mr. Garneau — a person who’s solid, who’s experienced, who’s well-respected — sitting in the wings.” It stated that “the harsh reality is that people don’t expect Marc Garneau to win; they’re just happy he’s in the race.”
Reid pointed out that since Liberals are in the third place on a federal level, perhaps they are indeed on the verge of a collapse, so they definitely are in desperate need of a charismatic leader who can turn the party around. He explained that “the hard question for a lot of Liberals is: Can they afford to look at a gift like Justin Trudeau – a guy with charisma who sparks genuine enthusiasm and a popular reaction – can they look at that in the mouth and say, ‘no thanks.’”
