No party has a membership more prone to outright delusional behaviour than mine: the CPC. It's such a hoot listening to your average Conservative supporter or member game the process surrounding a snapshot in time where polls reveal almost universally that the CPC is done as dinner when it comes to winning the next election. I concede that they have a point when the argument is made that methodology is an important factor that may skew poll findings to some degree. Well, yes, but even the pollsters who saw a tighter race did not see a CPC win in April of last year. To put it in elementary terms so that the average Conservative can get it: support wasn't there to win on election night, wasn't there a second time between then and now and won't be there on the next election night.
Back in the old days of Hollywood, they called Bette Davis box-office poison, and that moniker applies in spades now to the CPC leader. Most potential voters did not like Pierre back when, cared for him even less on election night and don't want to have anything to do with him going forward. So, there you go.
Caucus knows what they have to do and should just get on with it. Ditch him ASAP so we can have at least a fighting chance in the fall election, which seemingly no one sees coming other than yours truly. But it is coming.
And for the record: LPC: 48%, CPC: 37%, NDP: 6%, BQ: 6% and GP: 2%.
