Politics is a business. Your voter base are your shareholders.

Just like corporations are there to make a profit, political parties are in business to win elections.

If the PC/WRP guys can't figure this out, they should get out of politics.

I have steam coming out of my ears.
What are you saying here? I don't understand what you mean (honestly).

I don't know anything about this Janssen person, but the parts of the article that you quoted I agree with. I don't want to see the PCs and WR shack up and abandon principles in order to win. I want them to show that they understand that they can be 'Progressive Conservatives'.

The incentive just to 'win and get in' may be the worst part of politics. I want leaders who will campaign on what they are going to do, and do so if they win. I don't want leaders who will do anything to win the election, and then have no accountability to what they actually ran on.
