My assumption is that this angle is the easiest to get people to be angry about. Most of his platform is getting people angry about things that don't exist or excited about solutions that won't solve anything. IMO getting people to be angry about a leadership change is more of the same.
Could be. Even then, it's still so odd. He's in this political win-win situation, where he has an advantage if Trudeau stays on, and he has an advantage if the Liberals make a last-minute change and roll into the election (that we all know is lingering) with an untested newbie.
Although, the CPC and Poilievre didn't earn this excellent spot on the chessboard by any strategic triumph, so maybe it's not so surprising that he appears to have no idea how to work the pieces.
Honestly I make the same assumption about a lot of his positions. Much of what he says or suggests policy wise doesn't hold up if you dig into it. So why say it in the first place?
Most of the platform is being built on people being angry and not understanding the systems that are being talked about.
From that perspective it makes sense that they need to continue to feed lies, half-truths and other nonsense to keep people angry.
