Alternately, the Conservative Party could stop nominating and electing the lamest, most weasel-like amongst their ranks as party leader.
Justin Trudeau is not the best PM that we've ever had, and is beatable. The truth of it is that he has benefited from the contrast effect, because of who the conservatives keep voting in.
I'm NDP ... grudgingly support the Liberal government and don't like the conservatives at all
This is what I don't understand about the Conservatives or even the Republicans in the US .. if they could just find some smart talking 40 something rich guy that looks good on camera ... it really wouldn't matter what his or her credentials are (because they hardly matter as it is), then these right wing parties could make a killing at every election. Nothing anyone says matters any more, so it means just looks and charisma.
Yet, right wingers keep wanting to actively place the dumbest ugliest looking idiots to lead their movements and wonder why they can't gain popular support from others.
It's impossible to be smart talking and lead morons, because to lead the morons you need to spew stupid shit. Pollievre is already near the minimax of optimal intelligence for that target audience. The smartness is in saying the vote-grabbing stupid shit.
It's reminiscent of the liberals with Ignatief and Dion.
Picking someone that the party likes is fine and well, except for the small detail of needing people outside of the party to like them.
I've never voted Liberal federally that I can recall, but Dion was a rare one of their leaders I thought might not be so bad.
Yeah, that was heartbreaking.
The man is smart, but was absolutely uninspiring as leader.
He likely would have been fine as PM, but you still need to get people to want to vote for you.
PP's makeover is supposed to make him look like that. Republicans in the US do have guys of that sort. There's DeSantis (if he kept his mouth shut), Ramaswamy (37 but close enough), Will Hurd (who I know nothing about for some reason-- it's not like I specifically sought out info on the others). Democrats apparently have it out for Gen X-- nobody under 69.
I submit they have no better option.
And it's not like the Oranges ran with Mr Mulcair, or the Cons would finally get that they seriously need to get their shit together.
But, side note, both the greens and blues are ruined by their extremists, and we just see the blues because the blues tend to cruelty while the greens tend to an obstructionism that their more responsible and moderate selves from the '90s would be appalled to see.
There was nothing moderate or responsible about the CPC (Reform) in the 90s. If you go back and re-read the news from the time, you could easily confuse them with the PPC.
