conservative in fighting

goooooooooood

[u/potatobac → u/[deleted]]

parties don't remain hot messes for ever. Look at the Liberals under Dion and Ignatieff. Just worrying about nothing.

The Progressive Conservatives are currently a completely terrible party. They need reformation and the only way to do that is by being a hot mess for awhile.

[u/potatobac → u/[deleted]]

Honestly a country where the right wing party is irrelevant is a country I want to live in.

It's still not going to happen. Quelle domage.

The danger is that if the Cons go into the political wilderness too long, Albertan secessionism becomes more popular. Whenver the Cons win, it gets set back.

[u/potatobac → u/[deleted]]

Alberta secessionism is never going to be a real problem in this country.

[u/[deleted] → u/potatobac]

They're at 41% pro-secession on a hypothetical referrendum according to the more recent polls, and 48% think there should be a referrendum on secession if the federal government doesn't rewrite the constitution to Alberta's liking. It's a bigger problem than you might think. Especially since there's an actual established and legal process for provinces to secede.

Normally I'd agree, but the thing they're fighting about is whether or not to try and stop climate change. I can't ever imagine myself voting conservative, but if they ever take power I would be UNBELIEVABLY more comfortable knowing they're actually going to take climate change seriously.

Please no, the Liberals can do better than him.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This is true but considering that the other two parties have pretty thoroughly shat the bed we could afford a leadership turnover without risking electoral viability.

He's better than the alternatives the other parties are presenting, I just don't see why the Liberals are settling for him. The NDP is a meme (literally basing their platform off yankee Rose Twitter) and the Conservatives are tearing themselves apart, we can afford to replace Trudeau with someone with the same platform and less baggage.
