I agree with that completely. I find it worst amongst the provincial PC's who have brokered too many deals on the "Anyone but Dinning", "Anyone but Mar", Anyone But Lukaszuk" trains (even if this last train was a Prentice runaway anyways).

It's fractured the discourse within groups that should be like minded on principles.
