I dislike how worldwide Torydom seems to be on a course away from conventional evil Tories like Harper and Johnson and Kenney and their ilk, to lunatic submorons like Truss, Smith and Polliver, to say nothing of the state of the GOP down south. What snapped to make people say "eh, I'm sick of conventional immoral greed, give me some pure fuckin' insanity!"

I don’t think Trudeau’s Liberals have another win in them. To the extent that COVID was a social disruption on the level of a war, it’s worth noting that wartime leaders in democracies are at higher risk of being tossed out after the war is over. This, combined with the inevitable itch to see change of any sort after several terms of the same government, and the growing reactionary sentiment that PP has attached himself to, suggests that we’ll probably have a conservative government next time around.

I would like it if the media would cover politics like it is something serious that affects how the country is run and not as much meta poo poo about how soandso is doing in the polls and how x strategy is going to work out for them and how much y misstep is likely to hurt their image.

The media really really wants a horse race or at least seems to be strongly in favour of voting blue no matter who. The thing is Pierre Poilievre minority government isn't a thing; who will their coalition partner be, formally or informally. Can he get enough Liberal MPs to betray their party to prop up his government through a confidence vote. Will the PPC have a surge of support and have enough to prop him up? Will the Bloc join him? If the answer to those questions is no than he has no path to maintaining power through a confidence vote if the other parties want him gone. Stephen Harper was able to use the GG, the fact that he was the incumbent, a media that simply repeated CPC talking points, and Ignatieff's weakness to hold onto power in minority. PP has maybe one or two of those to help him.

If the PP CPC wins a minority they won't need a coalition partner, the libs will either prop them up or just abstain while they sort out their next leader, and then trigger an election.

Why would the Liberals back PP over their own leader, Justin or whoever follows him, when the incumbent gets first crack at forming a government? Do you seriously believe that is Justin Trudeau stands up in the house with enough Liberals and NDP MPs to form a government, that Liberal MPs will commit career suicide to crown Poilievre because there are more Conservative MPs than Liberal ones?

I mean you're not exactly wrong, but it's my hope that those fuckups translate into them losing the next election. Kenny was already well on the way to that, and I doubt Smith is going to turn things around. Not much we can do about her tenure until then.

'good enough to fill in but not to invest in' p much sums up most corporate environments as any sort of minority and I am totally gonna borrow that line when my career field bullshit becomes too much to deal with.

I believe that if the CPC wins a minority the Libs will immediately jettison Trudeau as leader and start fighting amongst themselves to become his successor. If Trudeau has enough support and personal drive to stay on in that situation then you won't see MPs abandoning the party (though that's a bit of a tautology), but I don't think he'd actually try to stay.

Do you seriously believe that is Justin Trudeau stands up in the house with enough Liberals and NDP MPs to form a government, that Liberal MPs will commit career suicide to crown Poilievre because there are more Conservative MPs than Liberal ones? While the incumbent formally gets first shot at forming a government, it feels like norms are firmly in favour of the electoral 'winner' getting first shot. Liberal support of a Conservative government would almost certainly look like it did under Harper, where the LPC simply doesn't team up with the NDP and, for the most part, the CPC legislates on the areas where there is ideological overlap between them and the LPC. You combine this with all the poo poo that the government gets to do that doesn't run through legislature, and there is a fair bit of damage a conservative minority government can do even if they are restrained by commons.
