Keep on going, Poppinfresh. You're already polling well behind in your own damn riding and will likely lose your seat completely.

But sure...let's just keep paddling that Trump canoe regardless of the fact that the Trump brand has been suicide for anyone who is not Trump (because happily it seems the rest of the world is still slightly intelligent)

This is precisely why I know he's bought and paid for by the same people who got Trump, Modi, Meili, etc... into power in their own respective countries; because ANY actual politician would immediately serve their own self-interest and decry Trump in order to help him with victory. In fact that's what the rift in the Conservative party is all about right now; his own Conservative leadership is telling him to do exactly that on the campaign trail and he refuses. Why?

Because it's his job to be a Trump enabler, not a politician. He was Shenaniganned into the Conservative leadership role for precisely that reason; not to run the country, but to act as a surrogate for the same cabal of rich people who pull Trump's strings.

Have you checked recent polling? The Stop The Steal scandal has saturated the press and the bottom has fallen out of Liberal polling. If US hedge-fund owned media can keep it going for the next week and a bit, PP is likely to run away with it.

I assume you're referring to the Mainstreet polls. Not weighted that high and definitely an outlier and no sign that they are predicting a shift in the results.

Nothing shows anything Pierre Populism is running away with as you said. Polls by and large still show a Liberal majority or at worse a Liberal minority given their ability to get seats better than their popular vote might show.

I check various polls daily. Yes, Liberals have flattened out. But so have the Cons. All polls still point to 80-90 percent change of a Liberal Majority and it's been that way for weeks with only a few percentage points changing either way. I'm not in panic mode.

This scrolls through every poll daily and lists them individually. Conservatives have actually been dropping support (44 - 39).
