The Ontario Liberal party is believed to have only 10,000 members now, down from the 44,000 on the rolls when Kathleen Wynne and Sandra Pupatello faced off for the leadership six years ago.In March, delegates at a Liberal convention will select a new leader and those delegates will be chosen by members of the party.
“Back in June of last year, the Ontario Liberal Party as we know it died. . . . So the party that we knew no longer exists. And I keep telling people that the only thing that is recognizable in the party today from our old party is the value sense we have. And that’s what draws people into rooms.”
“Last time was a competition to be premier,” says Jack Siegel, who will be chief returning officer in March. “This is a competition to be the saviour of a party that has kind of fallen off-track.”
