All parties do research to find out what issues they may use to attract voters and attack the other parties with.
What we need to do is represent a consolidated interest.
No party can afford to pretend that 2.2 million potential voters don't exist.
We agree to vote together, to get this one thing sorted, and what we have to offer is significant.
Make them come to us.
Ideologically, I am NOT a conservative and I never will be, but I will vote strategically to put them in power if they convince me they will fix this. a quote here or there in a newspaper or magazine won't cut it. I won't risk electing an ideology that conflicts with my own unless I have a promise (that I believe). I live in rural BC so whoever is elected to run this country will never give two Sh#ts about me or my interests anyway. All I can hope to do is vote to represent myself.
That said, as another poster suggested they do, and the CPC distanced themselves from religion, bigotry, and improved their environmental platform, I might vote for them regardless of the gun issue.
Likewise, if the NDP were to make the case convincingly, I would vote to increase their position. Maybe if they weren't lapdogs to the LP, we might have a different government today and I still think they would trade a forced coalition with turdo for 2.2 million votes.
Are there 12 seats that the NDP could steal from the LP, Bloc, or Greens?
