This is what I don't understand why people don't get this. If the Conservatives win the election it is going to be with a minority government in the house of commons. If the ppc siphons away votes. Then all the liberals have to do is form a coalition with the greens and ndp. To get the swing votes in the house. Literally none of the reforms on the conservative platform will have any chance of being enacted.
We all need to consider this before casting our ballots in October.
