New Democrats: Tories

The Canadian Press Dept: Murray says she believes Liberals, New Democrats and Greens should have the option of conducting run-off nominations to choose a single candidate in tightly contested ridings where a united progressive front would guarantee defeat of the ruling Tories, according to The Chronicle Herald. One of the things that I bring is just the full spectrum of the Canadian experience, the 58-year-old told The Canadian Press in an interview shortly before officially announcing her leadership campaign Monday and oTTAWA Vancouver MP Joyce Murray is joining the federal Liberal leadership contest with a daring call for co-operation with other progressive parties in the next election to ensure defeat of Stephen Harper s Conservatives. She is the first contender to broach the controversial idea, which is consistent with her broader pitch that she is a collaborative politician who brings unique perspectives and attributes to the race.
