I think the original Reform Party under Preston Manning had real intentions of changing the way things were done. They were demonized and totally rejected out East and Manning was made out to be some sort of weak kneed racist bible thumper. Now people are talking about how decent of a guy he is/was. The people get what they deserve. Trying to do things right doesn't win you an election. Pandering, vote buying and promising everything to everyone while covering your ass wins elections.
