As an aside I find it really entertaining to be having a partisan conversation with someone who claims to be 'undecided'!

I can have a debate and still be undecided can't I? Just because I don't like the policies of the Conservatives doesn't mean that I am partisan for another one of the parties?

I know lots of other former Liberal-voters who feel exactly like that.

I think that is exactly the issue. That and Harper came to power campaigning on an accountability act and cleaning things up....only to see scandal after scandal. Are some of these unjust and media created? Probably, but the list just grows. Frankly I'm not sure that the 2005 Conservative party that came to power with that accountability act would even vote for themselves if they stuck to those principles.
I definitely feel lost in the political wilderness though. Something which more and more seems to be a foreign concept to the CPC supporters here.

Its just an undeniable part of that party. No different to me than the links of the NDP to unions.
Its not like the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives merged and all of those people decided to suddenly vote for a different party.
