Coyne: Mulcair victory inevitable but still impressive

Coyne: Mulcair victory inevitable but still impressive

Mulcair has remarkably little connection to the party he now leads. One senses no great personal affection for him in the party, nor any particular identification with what he stands for. His acceptance speech fell spectacularly flat, and not only for the professorial monotone in which it was read: it made only the barest appeals to party unity, invoked no party icons, touched on no party history, in fact barely mentioned the party at all.
