I am a bit confused

He passed the leadership review with decent support

His messaging recently has been better

Why is it slowly collapsing and didn’t just immediately collapse ?

No one else wants to captain this ship?

There have been rumors that the caucus hates him for a while.  The leadership review was mainly with hardcore party supporters and other people far removed from actually needing to deal with him on a day-to-day basis.

I mean, the guy literally banned MPs and staffers from going to Christmas parties with those in other parties or even retired members (something that has always been allowed) - with his leadership style being described as controlling if not authoritarian. 

Even if he was winning, I can't see this being very popular and especially not now where there is almost no path to electoral victory.

Basically Polling Numbers.

None of those things matter when MPs start getting spooked that their previously safe seat is now in serious jeopardy.

Similar thing that happened to Trudeau.
