‘demonstrate the eruclal importance. of-an‘early ein

ivlearcy:

possible for the NDP ta form a government. ‘This makes the": and:

‘therefore it is very important, that it be ‘seen.as a ‘crédible
‘alternative. It'is in this context that leadership is im--
portant, What does Joe Clark stand for and what strengths .

* Conservative Party?)
~WFirat, he sees the Progressive Conservatives ana raliddle’

of the road party for all:Canadians.-The Liberal Party:is -
~percelved as the party of the Civil Service and the NDP as *.

the party of labor, History belies the. notion: that: the:

. Progressive Conservative Party’ is the party ‘of hig
business. Policies which favor big business at the expense

.. of other segments of soctety are not in its beat traditions nor
in the best interests of the country. If Joa Clark's view

previals, the Progressive Conservatives would be seen as a

- credible alternative and would take votes from both the

“Liberals and NDP.

Second, Joe Clark has recognized the exiatence of diverse
regional interests and described Canada as a community of
communities. Implementation of policies. consistent with .
~ this view would mean strengthening provinclal powers.at
the expense of federal powers but this may well be the only
feasible option for survival as a country.

Third, he is bilingual. With francophones. represetiting
nearly 80 per cent of Canada’s poputation It 1s easentlal that
the Prime Minister be bilingual. It is obvious that Joe Clark
_ is the leadership candidate best equipped to deal with the
- diferences between Quebec. and the rest of Canada. -

‘Fourth, he has experience both as party leader and Prime
Mintater and has learned from his experience. Surely this is
a strong factor in support of his candidacy. ~~

Fifth, he stands for fiscal responsibility, Let us not forget
that it was a flepally responsible budget that the Liberals
and NDP used ta defeat the Clark government in Decem-
ber, 1979.

. Sixth, there are four peraonal qualities needed for lasting
success asa leader; integrity, courage, vision and humility.
Examination of Joe Clark's record as party Jeader and
Prime. Minister indicate that he has all four.

Finally, there. is one attribute that Joe Clark does not
have, charisma, For too many years we have looked for
political leaders with charisma and paid no: attention, to
_ their dems, abilities, and personal qualities.. Charisma. is a

very much over-rated commodity.and the time has come to:
look for a real pertoa rather than BTV image,:
