Many people already have done that and because of the stupid election process the third choice won and the party got an incompetent boob as a leader. Not sure that instills much confidence in people to use the leadership convention to change the party.

If anyone wins this other than the Tories it sends a similar message to them. If someone steals the seat and holds it in the next general election though that would be interesting for sure.
It wouldn't be the first time a Liberal has taken a seat and we have seen repeatedly the enormous impact that that has had.

Voting for the WRA may not mean much to the PC's but it at least means as much as voting for a Liberal does. Both parties have about as much power and relevance in provincial politics and adding one more MLA from either party doesn't effect the PC's at all.
