The less common, but still classic, „You can’t quit, you’re fired“.
Humorous to put the the tories in a position where they have to do this (but what else are they gonna do?).
Let’s be real, he will be joining the Liberal caucus. It’s just not public yet. Highly doubtful that he’ll be independent.
He’s absolutely joining LPC – he wouldn’t have said anything if he wasn’t.
My guess here is that if Poilievre’s response is as hostile as I’m expecting, the other two that were rumoured to be crossing for weeks will go as well and gives Carney his majority.
The more significant impact though is this could likely end the modern day CPC.
I still think switching parties should trigger a by-election.
I suspect he’d retain it but I think switching should incur a cost still
Very interested to see if anyone else quits. It’s no secret that moderate CPC MPs are unhappy with Pollieve and the overall direction of the party.
Does Elizabeth May typically (or always?) vote yes on a Liberal budget over the last 10 years (genuinely asking)? That would mean they may only need one more defection -assuming Entremont joins the Liberals- to effectively pass future budgets.
We are actually in a situation where May could potentially and realistically hold the balance of power lol.
Well that would certainly be something if there are 3 Conservative floor crossers that give them a majority. It sounds like it gives Carney some breathing room in the short term, but you would have to remember they crossed the floor once already and it means keeping their support is fragile. Let alone would any other Liberal MPs who are on the outs with Carney look for the exits. It wouldn’t really be all that different from where we are today, where a single retirement means the government could fall in a confidence vote. So its basically when all 3 of the opposition parties feel they have the funds, leadership and polling on their side to fight an election, which will be at least 1 year away.
It will at least give the NDP and Conservatives some cover to not just gumflap but actually be willing to vote no confidence with full knowledge it won’t send them to an election.
