And as others mentioned before, people voting for a party over, or despite, a candidate is understandable in most cases, but this isn't most cases. The guy hold values questionable to the extreme, is shown to be a lazy politician, and embarrasses his party, his country, and a lot of his electorate.
The strange thing is, even if the people in the riding are conservative boosters, they should also want to get rid of him, as he damages the brand, and perpetuates a lot of the ugly stereotypes other voters have of the conservative party.
So I guess it's important to educate others about the man if the people in that riding (or people in the conservative party in general) want change. I'm not sure enough people really want that change though. I think there are a lot of people there that are partisan to the extreme and would vote for (yes Hitler reference) as long as he wore Conservative blue.
That's bad politics for everyone, even the conservative party. It's important people know that.

This is why Harper should not be the PM of Canada. He goes above and beyond to keep Anders as the Conservative MP.
Why?
