If Conservatives are disappointed their leader didn't get elected, they should have supported electoral reform without playing political gamesPolitics shouldn't be a lifelong career for everyone else, except me. - pp
He saw an opportunity in Trump's way of thinking, and now he's off with his tail between his legs
The CPC caucus are the ones who need to enforce accountability and decency in their own party. I don't think they will, because the strategy of attacking the centre while making the far right feel welcome is what expanded their vote share, and Poilievre is their guy for that. They'll be looking at it and recognizing that if they lose the far right and lose their attack dog who tears down opponents, they will lose vote share. So, even though he's toxic and lost his own seat, I suspect they'll back him, and it will be bad for Canada.
I could be comparing apples to oranges here, but I really view this unfavourably compared to Peter Dutton in Australia - details in https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-03/peter-dutton-losing-dickson-coalition-leadership/105247916 but in short Dutton resigned from leading his party after he lost both the national election there and also his own seat.
There's a direct comparison right in Canada. Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, did the exact same thing (lost his seat, stepped down as leader)
