Indeed, and even.... EVEN if the PPC only get one MP, that can be a big thorn in the gov of the day side with constant private members bills, awkward squad questions during QT, and generally constantly sniping at the idiot front bench.
Look at the brexit party. Came out of nowhere to clean up in the EU elections.
Salient point. It’s hard to know the motivations of roughly half the legal electorate that don’t bother. We can only make an educated guess. Abstaining through sheer disgust with the lot of them is likely one.
Perhaps the turnout for this one will be more? Turnout for brexit party vote increased markedly. Seems enough apathetic voters were angry enough to go the “ah fuck it I’ll vote for someone completely different” AKA the trump effect.
PPC. No idea how many candidates they have running. Really at a loss with the current sides of the same coin with the Grits And Tories. Red team blue team for decades, people keep voting the same way and expecting different results.
A respectable result for Bernier would be if he got his seat and picked up another one, especially if fringe left of centre parties are encouraged to run, that can help bleed away liberal voters to fringe loons like the Marxist, communist and green/watermelon parties, allowing PPC to sneak up the middle and snatch a seat or two by a wafer thin count from Tory incumbents.
What with O toole alienating a Tory base by fussing like an old woman about a trace gas, and covid1984 virtue signalling, whilst simultaneously being so robotic and scripted he resembles a product from a focus group lab, it’s not unreasonable to predict more vote switching to PPC this time around.
Also. Derek Sloan or Lewis shoulda got it, rather than pink blacmange head.
More like a dead plan, because he won't be PM.
