A reflective, compelling account of modern politics as it really is.

There's Iggy Pop and Iggy Flop; one is a brilliant musician who delivers what audiences want and does it in style, the other is a clueless politician.This book is about the politician who discovered the Liberals are not Canada's natural rulers, especially when led by a tone deaf expatriate. As in his last campaign, when he blithely led Liberals into their worst defeat in Canadian history, Ignatieff fails to explain why Liberals are better than Conservatives, and why after thirty-plus years outside the country he was not "Just Visiting" in his adventure in politics.Consider: John McCain, in his first campaign for Congress, was criticized as a carpetbagger who had just moved into Arizona and the district. McCain said the charge was true, explaining the longest he'd ever lived in one place was the Hanoi Hilton (a North Vietnamese prison camp). He won by solid margin.Ignatieff had almost three years to explain his time outside Canada, just as he had ample time to create a dynamic alternative to the Conservatives. Even in retrospect, he fails to deliver. He just doesn't get it.
