StarEditorialBoard: Canada needs a decent, sensible, broad-based Conservative party, one able to offer a solid alternative to the Liberals right across the country.
Even if you’re allergic to conservatism in general and Conservatives in particular, you should hope thatThere are many on the progressive side of the political spectrum who don’t want any such thing.
First, it would leave the Liberals without a credible challenger on the national scene. Every government needs to be kept on its toes and live in fear that if it doesn’t perform it will face ejection in the next election. Second, it’s dangerous if people who gravitate naturally to the right think they are shut out of the political process because the party that should be their natural home doesn’t have a prayer of winning.
And third, things do change; the pendulum that has swung to the left in the past few years will inevitably swing back at some point. The Liberals — because of a change in the national mood, political exhaustion or self-inflicted wounds — will eventually lose power. It always happens.
