Why would anyone, particularly a woman, stand to be nominated as an MP in the Conservative (aka old Reform) Party?
The reasons NOT to run (never mind VOTE for) for the Conservative Party in Canada are many. How about just one or 2? The leader has little regard for women in leadership positions. The leader insists, by fear of exclusion, that party members not speak their opinions or take any media attention from him. The leader's fixation on secrecy, rather than transparency that he promised, is detrimental to democracy and Canada. The leader, Steven Harper, makes promises that he does not keep.
To run for the Conservative Party is to compromise one's principles.
To run for the Conservative Party is to say that one does not believe in the right of women over their own body.
To run for the Conservative Party is to say that the salary, the position, are more important than one's integrity.
Impossible to believe.
Canada needs to be rid of this PM and the Conservative Party.
Where are the "old time" Conservatives? When will the old Conservative Party arise? It can't come too soon.
