What I’m telling traditionally conservative voters that I know…if you have no taste for Smith and care about the future of a reasonable conservative party, hold your nose this one time and teach the UCP/TBA a lesson, that their brand of far right chaos will not be rewarded. If they win in a couple of weeks, that only validates their strategy. Don’t rely on promises that they’ll deal with Smith later, she’s just a nutty figurehead who can be replaced with someone that has better PR skills but the same or worse plans behind the scenes.
I actually want there to be a good sensible conservative option out there to keep the NDP honest. That doesn’t exist right now but if the current UCP can be burned to the ground, maybe in 4 years we can have a relatively normal election where we’re arguing over budget allocations, not vaccine nazis and Avion points for hospital stays.
