I would really like to see the conservatives split into 2 parties again! Then I would like to see voter election reform.

But you see they understand that consolidating under one party under first-past-the-post wins them more elections.

The elites would rather not have their members split into Libertarian, United, Centrist, Future, CHP and PPC factions.

They don’t want conservatives to have real choice under proportional representation and save taxes preventing cancelled projects when the government changes. It’s either stinking Pierre Poilievre or the highway.

With any luck once Trump is out of office some of the Liberals will see that Carney is a conservative in a liberal suit and cross to the NDP, or more likely fracture and start a new party. Once the liberals do not have a majority any more I see the conservatives who do not like PP will see Carney for what he is and jump ship. I really hope to see some change in our government, especially with how close we are getting to the EU.

It would be nice to see liberals with a conscience split from Carney’s liberal party.

Not like that.

I am feeling real smooth brained right now, as I do not see what I did there?

If you're old enough, the original right-wing splinter party was the Reform Party (1987-2000).

Fair I thought about that after I posted, I do not like giving Harper much credit for things but he did bring the PC’s back together.

I was born in 87 and did not really care or understand much about politics until the early 2000’s. So it is a little out of my mind, but I did know about as I have read about the different political parties Canada has had.
