[edit] The meaning of this paragraph

On the morning of the vote for the 2004 federal election, he reported on an alleged arrangement whereby former New Democratic Party leader Ed Broadbent would resign his Ottawa Centre seat to force a by-election should the current NDP leader Jack Layton fail to be elected in his Toronto riding.

It's hard to grasp the meaning of this. Was it true? Is it notable? 206.191.33.99 17:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Is it true that Duffy said it? Yes. Is it true that such an arrangement actually existed? Nobody knows but Broadbent and Layton; they've both denied it. Is a possible attempt by a journalist to influence the election result in Ottawa Centre by reporting an unconfirmed rumour that "if you vote for this guy he might resign tomorrow" notable? You tell me. Bearcat 19:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't make sense in the artcle. Since there's no proof he wa right or wrong. should be left out as too ambiguous.206.191.33.161 22:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Took out Duffy being asked about Bouchard's "death". Hardly reflects on him. Unless there's more balance, the other embarassing anecdotes should be dropped. WP:BIO is involved. Stompin' Tom 00:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
