Why shoot yourself in the foot by giving the other parties that ammunition in the first place? His lack of desire to legislate based on his personal beliefs isn’t even a question if you pick a guy who doesn’t hold those beliefs in the first place. I mean Ffs it’s not rocket science. Many people here seem confused as to why enough Canadians voted for a corrupt hypocrite over someone who holds personal beliefs many(dare I say most) Canadians find utterly unpalatable

Well there's that aspect too. If Scheer held anti-semitic, anti-miscegenation, or other unpalatable views that he claimed he wouldn't legislate on, most people wouldn't bat an eye at voters not wanting to vote for him. The argument in the other thread was that those views have been unpalatable for much longer than anti-abortion and anti-SSM views. I asked how long views can be unpalatable before they should be unelectable and no one could give me a straight answer. Well it appears the Canadian electorate has provided us with that answer.
