I remember coworkers telling me in 2015 that they hoped Trump would win the RNC nomination because he’d be easier to beat
CPC is pretty awful but PPC is much worse. We do not want these people in parliament.
It's not at all the same.
This would give the PPC one seat total, and deprive the CPC of their current leader.
Your analogy is actually much more similar to PP WINNING the seat. The Liberals being so happy to call a special election is BECAUSE they LIKE keeping PP, the guy they just beat the leader of the CPC. If the libs drag their feet to give challengers the space to make a play for CPC leadership, they're rolling the dice. They're choosing the devil they know and beat. Their bet is they think PP is a guy they can beat again.
Unless the split the vote so effectively that the Liberal or NDP candidate won...
That would be amazing.
But since the conservative won with 82% of the vote, even it were a perfect split either would still handily trounce whoever the 18% rallied behind.
Like, this is why PP wants this riding. I'm pretty sure a literal mop bucket would still win the seat if they were the conservative candidate. I think he could drive into Hanna say "fuck Lanny fuck Nickelback and fuck you" and still easily win.
I'm hoping the Alberta's aren't impressed about an Ontario politician parachuting in and "using" them.
