Oh look! An actual reasonable conservative party rather than the Trump Party Annex. Sure there's some populist sort of stuff on the platform but it is refreshing at least.
I don't mind if it siphons some fiscally hawkish liberal support from Trudeau and socially inclusive conservative support from Poilievre. We do need alternatives.
I'm mostly a liberal voter but I might throw my vote their way as a protest vote.
The LPC isn't taking the actions I want, I actually do like the NDP's platform but I think they need a massive shakeup, they're not marketing themselves right, and the CPC right now is so far beyond anyone I could remotely support.
I'll see what their platform really looks like come election time, and if they run a good candidate I'll give them a vote.
The LPC is a conservative party. It's entirely natural that you find them viable, you're the audience.
I would be more than happy if the two major federal parties were CF and the NDP, representing between them what the majority of Canadians actually want. Greens would be a good centrist party if they could keep enough strong leaders in the party.
What Conservatives and Liberals know how to do is sell themselves. Actually governing has become secondary.
