If the Cons were interested in shaping social policy and then never ever governing again, I could see your point Slava.

But Gay Marriage, Abortion and the Death Penalty have pretty much become the third rail of Canadian Politics, if you touch them you die.

If the Cons changed any of those, they would be bounced in the next election by a Liberal Party that would promise to recind those changes and the Conservatives would suffer a Kim Campbell loss, and probably never be given the keys to government again.

I think that the whole Cons scary hidden agenda has really gone on long enough.
