I would be willing to bet that if the CPC had Charest as the leader, you would still see the massive wins in Alberta, Sask and Manitoba.
This all or nothing mentality is going to ruin any chance of getting a conservative government back in power any time soon.
If I understand it, the mentality is that Charest is too much "of a liberal" so they would rather have a true blue right politician like Poilievre as the leader. Unfortunately he 0% chance to be the PM, because he is unelectable in most of the country.
The more logical choice to vote in Charest as the leader, which gives the CPC the best chance of getting back in power. Even if Charest governs more towards the center, he is much more right leaning than the current PM.
A vote for Poilievre as Leader of the CPC essentially guarantees another 4 years of Trudeau.....
