Obligatory caveat about EKOS being too optimistic about LPC. I'd like them to turn out to be correct, but for now take it with a grain of salt.
I take EKOS with an entire box of salt...
Although they were the first to report the Liberal turnaround... 0 BQ seats projected is hard to believe...
Their actual numbers are not super reliable, but the trend should be fine. Their polling seems to be sensitive to changing attitudes.
They can't say anything definitive about any riding in the country, either. None of these weekly polls have enough samples to do something like that.
The Trump bootlicker will be destroyed by Trump, and Trump doesn't even care to help even a little bit even though he could.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Honest question: if PP loses his seat, does he stop being CPC leader?
No.
Just even more impotent, if that's possible....
No, in the same way that Mark Carney was not required to have a seat to be the Liberal leader.
This is how parliamentary democracy works. "Unelected" leaders are a perfectly normal component of the system, because we vote for MPs and then the MPs decide how to govern with that mandate.
Now, in practical terms, losing your seat is a death knell for a party leader at this scale. While nothing in our governance or party procedure would obligate him to step down, his tenure would still be measured in days at that point.
It would most likely spark a leadership review and a possible change of leadership. Harper survived the government being the opposition, but that was back when the CPC was newly formed. After that, losing an election has resulted in a change in leadership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_of_Canada#Election_results
