Historically, and based on contemporary politics elsewhere, I think this will not happen.
Lets not sugarcoat it. Most politicians are spineless wieners, searching for some modicum of power and relevance while leeching off same to secure some cushy position when they inevitably tire of their "hard" jobs.
Maybe this has always been the case, but i think we have seen a degradation of politicians over the last few decades. Way too many career politicians and/or career party hangers-on.
Do you think some CPC MP in rural Ontario is going to have the balls to give that up for his principles? 80% of the MPs and MLAs arent there for their principles anyway.
