Oh look! An actual reasonable conservative party rather than the Trump Party Annex. Sure there's some populist sort of stuff on the platform but it is refreshing at least.
I don't mind if it siphons some fiscally hawkish liberal support from Trudeau and socially inclusive conservative support from Poilievre. We do need alternatives.
I would be more than happy if the two major federal parties were CF and the NDP, representing between them what the majority of Canadians actually want. Greens would be a good centrist party if they could keep enough strong leaders in the party.
What Conservatives and Liberals know how to do is sell themselves. Actually governing has become secondary.
I'm mostly a liberal voter but I might throw my vote their way as a protest vote.
The LPC isn't taking the actions I want, I actually do like the NDP's platform but I think they need a massive shakeup, they're not marketing themselves right, and the CPC right now is so far beyond anyone I could remotely support.
I'll see what their platform really looks like come election time, and if they run a good candidate I'll give them a vote.
The LPC is a conservative party. It's entirely natural that you find them viable, you're the audience.
