The Australian Labour party crisis has me thinking

Lets say the backbenchers get restless and Harper's support within the CPC goes down... who are the most likely candidates to challenge Harper in a leadership vote

My obvious choice is Peter MacKay

I don't think it'd be Baird, he's too loyal

Any opinions?

What Bob Rae didn't want any of that? (It's only a matter of time before he spans the entire political spectrum right?)

This is a stupid thread by a Harper hater. There's no way backbenchers are going to look to stab the PM in the back he's brought Conservatives back from the political wilderness.

The only way you'd see this happen is if you saw two factions develop (eg. Team Chretien, Team Martin) There's no evidence that will happen.

Harper has a tight grip on his party I know...but control freaks as leaders usually end up causing a lot of resentment and hard feelings among the group ..I've seen it first hand, it almost never fails
There will be a tipping point sometime

Of course you have no evidence to support the fact that any faction of CPC MP's are unhappy with Harper's leadership.

You gave your opinion I just disagreed with it, that is how it goes
that is the nature of forums, if you want someone to agree with you go cry to your wife
who will agree with you just to shut you up

The hypothetical nature of the thread is what I find perplexing.

It's like if I started a thread hypothetically saying the Quebec faction of the NDP will start their own party with Nationalist aims because it's obvious Bloc voters voted for them in the last election.

WTF is there to say about that?

[olpfan1]

That could be a thread if you wanted it to be, hypothetical situations make the brain think
I wouldn't go into your thread and diss it, that is not cool
