I'm happy that Polievre may get the comeuppance he so richly deserves, and the CPC may sink further into irrelevance. But there's a bigger point here: the LPC is now openly the real conservative party--it has been for a very long time, but they succeeded to some degree in making people believe they were "progressive"--and further, thanks to these desertions they are now very close to having a majority of seats. (I hope the people who voted for the floor crossers have learned their lesson). If the Liberals do get a majority, they should do the decent thing and call an election, because nobody voted for this.

    If you do not mind me asking…

    If you want the CPC to “sink further into irrelevance”, what do you expect from another election?

    CPC in charge - it sounds like you do not want that

    Liberals in charge -“nobody voted for this”? Sound like you do not want that either.

    So, am I to understand that you think an election would put the NDP in charge? That seems very unlikely.

    What outcome are we hoping a new election will deliver?

    It’s in the interests of the elites to have phoney majority governments. This is why they staunchly oppose proportional representation.
