    More conservatives need to come out against Pierre Poilievre and question why he has the power that he does. He acts like a dictator forcing every mp in his party to vote his way when they have obligations to their constituents and he attacks members of our community. Do we really want a Conservative Party with that corrupt weasel running it? He of course voted against advancing a citizen’s assembly, he is against the free market of conservative thought!

    Pierre Poilievre does not deserve all the power in conservatism.

      I agree with everything you said, but all parties are like that. Trudeau is just as bad. It’s because that’s what the system we have rewards. Parties that allow their MPs to vote as they please simply don’t win the game of politics.

      That’s what we need to change.

        I think this whole discussion points out the opposition to PR or anything other than FPTP.

        FPTP forced the Reform and PC to merge in order to stay competitive. It forces CPC MPs to toe the party line to stay in the party. It forces people to settle for LPC MPs if they don’t want Conservatives (or NDP out west often).

        Any move away from FPTP would allow smaller parties to be more successful, and at the very least that means the next Maxime Bernier will be able to be more successful as well.
