  1. Andrew Scheer would be well advised to follow prime minister Johnson should he get the same job.

    Decisive, firm leadership is what a majority of voters crave. That alone can cause one to overlook differences in opinion on some issues.

    1. No matter who comes in, Justin’s debt is crippling The Nation.
      He has trashed the place. Make him go live in Poppineau Land!

    2. I am sure Andy is holding a focus group on that very question right now.

      …whether it is better to lead in the polls or to follow? Quite Shakespearian.

  2. And Andrew Scheer remains silent. Do not hold your breath waiting for a “Brexit bounce” for the CPoC. You won’t see one, all you will ever get is people telling you “that is not the way politics works in Canada”. While they lose.

    1. Max? Isn’t he the guy who worked for Landry in Quebec, and helped argue that there was a fiscal imbalance (Quebec didn’t get enough money from the rest of Canada)?

  3. I see the Brits are as obtuse as Canadians when it comes to what is good for them and what is bad. I swear the left will destroy the world before they get a sensible thought in their thick heads.

  4. Kate, thanks for posting this AT article. The North American media cartel are censoring Johnson’s rise in popularity, so I for one wasn’t aware of it. One would think, as a probable scenario moving forward, that, first, the British Parliament will pass a law stopping a no-deal Brexit, and second, Johnson will call a snap election over his defeat, and win a solid pro-Brexit victory. Works for me.

    1. What is a bit more likely in the event of a general election is a Brexit party victory.
      Corbyn has alienated a large chunk of the traditional Labour vote by going against their wish for Brexit. Normally, there is no way these people, who for generations have voted only Labour, would switch to voting Tory. They would just not vote. But a vote for Farage and the Brexit party is a different thing altogether.

      Similarly, if the Tories manage to screw this up, their voters would be unlikely to vote Labour in large numbers, especially with a moron like Corbyn at its head. Some would maybe vote Liberal, but that party is so lost to reality that few would go that way. They would just not vote. Except that the Brexit party is there. Most, in my opinion, would vote for Farage.

      If a general election is called with no Brexit, expect to see Prime Minister Farage in charge with a large majority.

  5. With the Tories and Brexit Party pulling together in the same direction, that’s something like 45% of the polled. That’s huge, if they can work together instead of squabbling.
