PC/Cons can't hope for the left to simply split the vote, we need to be a party that is center right, not right, or we will simply have a party that forms an opposition to majority governments...
We need the right side of our party to compromise... which is what politics should actually be about, not taking hardlines.
Take a hard line/split the party, you're just going to get less of what you want by empowering a leftist government. All the reform party did was ensure Liberal majorities.

I guess for me I am not sure I see a big difference in a Liberal party as it is currently made up and a centre right party that the PC's could potentially turn into.
I guess I would have to wait and see what the party looked like and perhaps it would fit my preferences closer than the Liberals but at some point I think I prefer supporting someone who actually supports what I want rather than just someone who isn't as bad as the other guys.
