Arrogance Warping Judgement Of Federal Party Leaders

We will likely be having a May election because the federal party leaders have been too clever by half, allowing their pride get in the way of their better judgements as they tried to out bluff eachother. That judgement being rendered by Don Desserud, a political science professor at U-N-B Saint John.

Having said that, Desserud tells CHSJ News Saint John M-P Rodney Weston is a strong candidate who has done a competent job while not being flamboyant.

Desserud predicts voter turnout will be even lower than the last federal election and he believes public cynicism will increase.

Rodney Weston may have the same old foe in a spring vote, Former Saint John MP Paul Zed is hosting a news conference this morning.

Earlier this week, he told CHSJ News he was reflecting on his decision to run again or not.
