But then it seems like the conservatives are now seeing themselves as the anti-establishment party... basically if the liberals say or propose anything, they will be against it ... maybe it's because of FPTP then? I mean, in Germany for example, you only have one party (the AFD) who is anti-establishment to the same degree the Canadian conservatives are now...so I think that some kind of PR system, be it MMP or STV or something else would be beneficial...on the other hand, North American politics is just simply more right-wing and populist than in western Europe, even though many Canadians don't like to hear that... but the individualistic "freedumb" mentality is simply very strong in North America, including Canada...🤔
Fantastic piece. I hadn't thought of the effect of this hard turn to the far right on keeping the liberals in check. So many centre-right voters are disenfranchised, but their social consciences won't let them vote for such a vitriolic party.
I agree with your opinion here...

.. There’s no ‘crisis’ & the ‘conservatives’ ain’t ‘Tories’.. there ain’t no ‘Grits’ either
The current writhing CPC parasites are tearing at each other..
I doubt they’re ‘destroying themselves’ since they’ll still get
approx 1/3 of Federal Votes just by existing - being a political Party
That’s what Harper realized & thus rebranded himself & them
via a hostile parasitic Brand Takeover.. he ‘consumed the host’
then he began to consume Canada.. succeeded for nigh on 10 years
