The UCP, as a traditional Conservative party, is dead. If the UCP lose, They'll punt Smith, but the party and it's mechanizations have already been taken over by the far right. I don't think there is any going back on that. If Smith wins, it'll be the next election before any home of punting her, and the party will be even more established. The only hope is a new party to the left of the UCP. Anyone holding out hope for the UCP to get fixed is going to be disappointed.
