You’re telling me that a ragtag pseudo-party with no vision and a big debt is having a hard time finding someone to lead it? I am shocked.
I suppose all the longtime career politicians in Ensemble’s ranks are too comfortable running their little suburban fiefdoms to want to actually govern the city.

Much easier to criticise everything and never offer any actual ideas to solve problems. They always get a quote in every city news article to offer “balance”.

Ensemble is not really a party, but a loose assemblage of people who figured out how to get elected municipally, so they go on doing it. It would be better for the city if they had coherent ideas and proposals for solving its problems, but all they do is snipe from the sidelines.
I think this is one reason I resist calling them “the opposition” because in the Westminster system the opposition usually consists of a party with a semblance of political continuity and at least an attempt at a basic political philosophy, but I couldn’t name one principle that I think Ensemble stands for.
