Okay here’s the scenario:
Let’s say PPC’s leader is mostly unknown before the election, but a well spoken. seemingly honest and somewhat likeable. There’s no real history of unsavoury candidates or scandals. A lot of people don’t agree with PPC, but they typically don’t hate them either.
Platform is the same.
What are they polling at?
I think they’d be taking upwards of 20%, and I think they’d be draining all the parties, disproportionately the left.
You're delusional to think that the PPC would be mostly getting votes from the left when their policies are anti-immigration and denying climate change.
I think about 20-30% of people are pretty pissed off at the handling of covid, especially feeling coercion/force from the vax passports and mandates. I also think a lot of people are very uncomfortable at where this is going for their children.
Union workers, teachers, nurses, city staff, large corporate types etc etc, they’re facing the hardest brunt of these mandates. They’re mostly left wing voters.
A lot of the conservative voters are likely more in entrepreneurial fields, farmers, or work at private smaller and medium companies, and the mandates don’t impact them as much.
We can see PPC is almost certainly a pressure valve for the people I’m describing by studying polling data.
Populist movements have made headlines over the last 5 years for their unexpected successes. I think those who try to put their thumb in the valve risk getting burned.
I think he's asking if you took all the stigmatizing factors away from the PPC, how would they be doing?
It's a silly question because if you took all the stigmatizing factors away from the PPC, there'd be nothing left.
Most of the support they have is because of the baggage, not in spite of it. That's that's how radical fringe parties work.
I don't think that OP means the PPC platform and policies with "stigmatizing factors" when he says that the platform would be the same.
The stigmatizing factors are the retard throwing rocks at Trudeau, candidates that think you can breathe through your balls and leader with a heavy french accent.
Bernier is doing great the habit of voting blue, red or orange is hard to break
You have to consider that the stigma isn't just a cost to the PPC's vote count, it's also a benefit.
Like if the PPC didn't have a reputation as a nativist anti-immigrant party, the single issue (immigration) voters would have no reason to move their votes to a fringe party.
Well the platform is the same, so they do want to reduce immigration.
I understand that many people view immigration as a sacred cow, but the face scratching shrieks of the woke doesn’t make the concept of lower adjustment anti-immigrant.
I think they still take the racists, but I think that represents a somewhat vocal less than 1%.
Mainstreet polling shows they take at least their fair share of the minority populations, which further damages notions that their current support is mostly racists.
I think they’d be polling high teens low twenties.
Many do, but some don't. And for the ones who don't, there's the PPC.
Prior to covid, PPCers were pretty much single-issue voters. That issue being immigration. So where the PPC was polling at 3-5% on the strength of their anti-mass-immigration stance, if you took that away, you could also subtract the bulk of that 3-5%.
Take it up with your fellow PPCtards.
