Could a strategy for Bernier now be to rejoin the Tories with his crew and influence and voter block to try and change the Tories from the inside?
I’m sure he would get lots of support if there was a merger. Wasn’t there a right of centre party merger back in the 80s?
Just suggestions. The UPC and wild rose had to put their differences aside to boot out the dippers. It’s not ideal but…
He needs at least a seat to do that. I don't think that's possible, but it might in the future. That strategy worked with the Reform party only because the Reform party was very powerful and had a lot of seats, stymieing the PC's of the day.
Yes and him winning a seat in Beuce, against a dairy farmer, in the middle of dairy mafia rip off territory, is madness at worst, uphill battle at best. If he ran in a soft Calgary riding (say Skyview) on a pro oil and gas campaign, can’t see how Calgarians wouldn’t love that. They would possibly forgive him for being a frenchy.
According to Canada 338, even PPC winning 9.9% of the vote they don’t even get a seat, no matter how you play with the sliders. I guess I don’t get how it works.
The only silver lining one could get out of this is that it gets the Tory top brass a slap in the face and get back to sensible policies. However I fear it will take Canada becoming an unbearable shit show before smooth brained Naiive left of centre’s realise we need a Harper style admin to fix all the disasters. I’m no expert though. Just who has been an overall good tory PM through history ?
Our only chance is for Trudeau to fuck things up so bad that people finally decide to revolt. When we get the covid bill, people will wake up. We also need a well spoken leader that looks good on camera. O'Toole ain't it.
