Actually, your alternate reality would only play into my original point as well. By the time he finally disapeared, Clark was even farther to the left than Chretien was. He would not have had the support of right wingers within the CPC - though of course, in your alternate reality, they, and half of Alberta, dont exist anyway.
So his win *might* have come on the heels of Liberal corruption and incompetence, he would have had to pander to Ontario and Quebec to remain in power. The west gets left behind.
Playing games like "they would have won with *this* leader" does not change the underlying fact that Canadian "democracy" needs to be reformed in a bad way.
