I mean, yeah probably.
Isn’t that exactly what Poilievre would do as well if he was the PM of a minority government with a weak, petulant Opposition leader?
Wow, and this coming from one of the most manipulative politicians in history, it just cements even more what a joke Poilievre is. Never is it his fault for anything, there are toddlers with more maturity than PP. His arrogance and smugness is also part of why people are leaving his party.
Before anyone gets really angry, this represents an existential threat to Poilievre’s leadership, and also suggests that Poilievre knows there are more Tory MPs edging closer towards the Government benches. This isn’t really a message meant for Canadians at large, and more towards the CPC itself, which is likely having a lot of emotions about watching moderates depart the CPC, and take with them what has become the Reform wing’s political cover.
Floor crossings undermine the will of the voters. If Canadians wanted a liberal majority they would have elected one.
I believe that if an elected member of parliament cross the floor it should trigger a bi election as the individual is not acting on the wishes of his constituents.
The only way to know if the winds have shifted it a bi election- it’s not right they way they are manipulating things while Canadian suffer these politicians play games
The government as a whole makes me sick
Dude, two of your MPS floor crossed literally BECAUSE OF YOU. Like literally because they hate your leadership. Look in the mirror.
PP talks a lot.
But if the Conservatives were a bit more secure, there wouldn’t BE any floor crossings.
If only we could point to 22 reasons why the Conservatives aren’t as secure as they once were.
If we work at it, we could narrow it down to one very specific reason.
Totally not because of his leadership or anything. The Liberals smell weakness and are taking advantage. I’m sure any other party would do the same in this scenario.
PP describes a political strategy. Cool. More groundbreaking PP quotes later tonight at 11. Who knows, he may say another obvious thing like if there’s no curds it ain’t poutine or some other mind shattering revelation.
Yes, he is. I don’t agree with it — I think it’s contravening the will of the electorate to attempt to consolidate a majority government when only a minority government was elected — but, yes, that’s exactly what he’s doing.
A competent opposition leader would be able to stop him, by retaining the loyalty of his party members.
What does that say about Poilievre, that he hasn’t been able to?
This is like watching your teenage son say it’s not his fault he’s not doing well at school. It’s everyone else’s problem except his.
Seriously PP. At what point do you acknowledge your role?
Actually, Carney is saving Canadians a lot of money by getting a majority without another election that would yield a Liberal majority anyway.
A political neophyte is running circles around a politician with two-plus decades of experience.
Sounds like the latter is just bad at his job.
I never really understood why floor crossing is allowed. Doesn’t it go against what their constituents voted for? MPs are supposed to represent their constituents aren’t they?
PP wishes he was Carney. Carney has a significant favorability edge over PP. Carney is cashing in on policies that PP wanted to himself and get credit for.
PP has no answer as the leader Opposition to the Carney government. The recent failed pipeline vote even got called out by conservative pundits as a cheap political stunt and immature.
I’m a big fan of people saying that MPs only rubber stamp the party leader, then getting mad when they think for themselves. They lament the power of the whips and hate when MPs break free from them.
Which is it guys?
Isn’t he low key admitting that something like 30% of his caucus would rather abandon the party that got them elected than deal with him?
I have a hot take. I understand if an MP wins his riding by a large %. However, if an MP wins by a short amount of votes, it’s not entirely off of the representing their constituents.
