Buzz is all about Buzz, and his strategy failed. Those who say he was only calling for a vote for the Liberals as a last resort deliberately overlook that he was a poster boy for the Liberals. When you are election wall paper you know which side your bread is buttered on.
Buzz made his bed now he can sleep in it. And the NDP doesn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by bad boy Buzz. Next election Buzz's political clout will be that of a flea. It was only his connection to the NDP that made him and his pronouncements important. Next election he won't even warrent being Liberal wallpaper.

strategy? Maybe. But so did Jack Layton when he attacked
Liberals instead of Harper's Conservatives.
There's something about intention to be considered. Did Buzz
intend to serve the public interest (and the New Democrats) in his
advice on how best to keep out the Conservatives? Yes, he surely
did.
Was Jack's intention to serve the public interest when he attacked
the Liberals? Yes. So both these men stand for the kind of
excellence we want.
As for kicking Buzz out of the NDP, I'm with Jack on this one. This
time, it's the NDP Executive which has blundered. They shouldn't
have expelled a member who had demonstrated 41 years of
outstanding loyalty; much less should they have considered doing
so behind closed doors.
So each of them has made a mistake which undoubtedly started
off as well-intended. I ask you: are we all supposed to be angels
of perfection in this life? Must we be faultless in every way? Or is
there enough solidarity amongst us, that we can still reach out for
better ways of doing things, knowing our comrades will be with us
when things don't turn out exactly as hoped.
With the Harper Conservatives sitting in government, I think we've
got better things to do than to start chopping at good people like
these.
