Are we, as voters, shooting ourselves in the foot by not allowing politicians to move on from previous positions? We see it with Scheer with people believing he's still a conservative dinosaur on social issues. We see it with Notley on the anti-pipeline stance. We see it with Kenney on some of his previous stances during his federal politics career.
I'm not asking this with an agenda, it's a truthful ask. On the average, does it usually end up that when a politician gains/re-gains power, their old behaviour comes back to roost?
