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
