It's hard to see much of an immediate future for the CPC. Half of its members support a somewhat libertarian, free-market approach to governing, emphasizing lower tax rates for everybody, less government, and respect for the rights of individuals to do whatever they please provided they don't harm anyone else. The so-con wing that eked out the narrowest of wins believes in the opposite: Harperesque micro-targeted tax credits, supply management, denunciation of LGBTQ citizens, and opposition to abortion rights. It's like they're two separate parties, and without the discipline that comes from enjoying the perks and spoils of government, it will be difficult if not impossible for them to come together. True, the Republicans managed to pull it off, but the tax cuts on offer from the CPC so-cons are unlikely to be rich or broad enough to attract much support from the socially liberal / economically conservative crowd.
