What? He's planning on cutting the BBC?! The bastard. That's it, I'm voting Liberal. They'd never do such a thing. In fact, if I had a kid or was old or poor they'd probably offer to buy me a new TV on which to enjoy the BBC.
BBC and 3$ GO train fares in Toronto, that's all it takes to buy my vote. Doug Ford can keep his 20s.
This is going to be interesting indeed. Is Ford really going to cause the PC vote to bomb?
I can only speak for myself but when the PCs were led by Patrick Brown and put out their People's Whatever (Guarantee, was it?) I was interested in giving them a chance to speak to me about policies. Mostly because they were on about implementing a real carbon pricing scheme (as opposed to the shell game that is cap-and-trade-and-shells).
As soon as Ford became involved any chance of having my attention even for a minute was exploded like a bad day in Bosnia (that's a bit dated, I know). It hasn't pushed me to the Liberals because my vote can't be bought with my own money (or with anyone else's, really), among other reasons, but it sure has precluded the slight chance of swaying me into blossoming into something real.
I'm just one dude who the PCs have completely shunned with their choice of leader.
Of course, with FPTP, who cares about the odd moderate such as me? Majorities are won with a minority of votes so you can spurn a majority of the populace and still win absolute power! What a fun game!
