We talked about the possibility of an election, likelyhood and risk in another thread yesterday. With party and leader numbers like these... maybe it's more likely than I thought.

Jesus Christ.

I know every online leftist seems to think Carney is the devil, but these numbers should give people massive pause at what the alternative looks like.

It's wild to me that with as centrist as Carney's been, he's barely pulled any of the actual conservative vote to him. Really seems like we have a serious problem with growing entrenched conservatism in this country.

The bulk of consevative voters dont choose who they vote for. They view voting like sports, they vote for their favourite team regardless of who is on it.

The only voters that can be pulled are the centre-right swing voters.

The liberal voters are smarter in their voting, and thus when there are good alternative options their vote splits.
