Jean Charest to become head of the conservative. Self-Destruction of a party?
I heard the rumors he was gonna run, so of course this is no surprise that its being confirmed. Personally i never hidden the fact that i absolutely despise Trudeau and would never vote for him. But at the same time there is nothing that would make me vote Jean Charest either. I am from Quebec, i know the guy, his history here is absolutely atrocious.
Personally i liked O'Tool and i think it was a very disapointing thing that he got fired. I am not at all against more leftist views in a right wing party. I always said i consider myself center leaning right overall.
Looking at the current run for head, i see Charest on one side and Pierre Poilivre on the other, wich is a very right wing candidate and that could turn off a lot of other peoples.
I feel this party just can't find its identity and only manage to stay relevant because first a lot of peoples hate Trudeau and the Liberals, so they vote for them by default, or they just simply vote there because they feel they have to, as its the only right wing party that is "big".
And quite honestly, i used to see potential in the Peoples Party but lately Maxim Bernier made some very stupid comments and i think he going way too "extreme" and that will not help him at all.
So whats the choice left? Im never gonna vote NPD either, they are basically the "club-ecole" of the Liberals.
