There’s a lot of Conservative infighting right now. It’s a big tent party and not everyone in it cares about fighting “radical woke liberals”. It’ll be at least a month, if not longer, before an open seat gets a by-election and there’s always the chance people in that riding will have have lost confidence in Poilievre. At the same time, while Poilievre waits for another chance at a seat, the Conservatives will need to name a current MP the leader of the official opposition. Why not just have that person be the new party leader?
The past two Conservative leaders, Scheer and O’Toole, were forcibly ejected from the leadership spot by the party after their loss. The party will be kicking someone out for sure, but it seems like a toss up between a loser (Poilievre) and a winner (MP who won a landslide victory). It’ll be interesting to see who gets the proverbial “axe”.
I really, really hope a return to center of some kind prevails, or at least the party splits in two with a saner half. One of our two major parties basically becoming a US-MAGA fifth column is a really scary prospect.

Perhaps help pass voting reform and then split apart once the system allows that without obliterating the party.
