Former prime minister Stephen Harper says Pierre Poilievre is the Conservative leadership candidate with the best shot at leading the party to victory in the next federal election.
I think the Cons have yet to wake up to the fact that in the last election ~60% of the population voted for parties in the centre or on the left. PP's hard right rhetoric is probably only going to appeal to a percentage of the 40% that voted for the right. I foresee yet another electoral loss for the conservatives with PP at the helm.
So I guess if the CPC only cares about winning over CPC voters, they should go with Pollievre, but if they want a chance to win an election, they should probably go with Charest.
Let's hope they go with Pollievre so we don't get another CPC government anytime soon.
‘I’ll just have to keep doing what legions of other folks like me do: Sigh and vote Liberal.’ Stephen Harper endorses Pierre Poilievre, plus other letters to the editor for July 27
