Otoole is trying to attract swing voters, which could work in theory since Castro Jr abandoned the centre. In fact, this is what those who still support the CPC are hanging their hat on. Problem is that many of the “base” don’t like this shift (myself included) and are looking to cast their vote to the right of centre. This is the same plight Kenney is dealing with. By trying to please everyone, he’s ****ed everyone off.
This could turn out to be a short term win for Otoole (and the party), but it will be short lived as the core base realizes the party doesn’t reflect their values and only care about being “in seat”.
With the cards stacked, and Otoole looking out for himself, I’ll be supporting other parties that better reflect my values. Things will stay the same if we keep planning on just voting for the slightly lesser of two evils. Time for a change.
