When any political party plays solely to a faction of their base they have no chance of winning with the general voters. Anyone that believes in a conservative economic action plan needs to make sure the party has learned this lesson and moving forward works towards combining good economic decision making with smart, relevant social understanding/policy. Today's leaders are energetic, positive, accepting, progressive people - exactly the opposite of how the CPC leadership ran this campaign. Whomever it is, I look forward to the day the CPC has leadership whose ideas are worth getting excited about again.

Yup. I've said it before, but it's worth repeating: I would very strongly consider supporting the federal Conservative Party if they had a leader like Peter Lougheed. There's no way I will EVER vote for the band of neo fascists who are currently running the show, though. The recipe for the CPC to return to government is to get a new leader, purge the party of the Reform old guard, and reach out to all the moderate red Tories and blue Liberals who were completely alienated by Harper.
