I would have to think if the polls are right and the liberals manage to win a majority, the conservatives would have to do some real soul searching.
They’ll just get angrier and play dirtier. That will be the result of their soul searching.
Conservatives would rather abandon democracy than conservatism
I’d love it if the Conservatives fielded a moderate, Joe Clark-style candidate. I’d be able to go through an election cycle without losing sleep for once.
I heard Christy Clarke is looking for work - she’s essentially a moderate conservative.
The problem is that she would first have to win the party leadership. And the party nomination process has been hijacked by the fundies who don’t want a moderate.
