     I am fairly ambivalent about this move. I am however curious about the ramifications of this on the December elections.

     You see, we have already had two members express interest in being candidates. One of them has a good chance at gaining office before then, but if he fails to do so, are we just going to bump one of the two potential candidates off to support RowanBrandon's re-election? I think that would be a mistake, but I'm interested to hear other opinions on the matter.

I wouldn't stay in a party that endorsed Rowan and I also know for a fact that if Rowan is a candidate, only one candidate is needed because that is the best we can do. Swing voters will run for the hills (aka Franzl).

     I understand. I would like to know what terms he was welcomed back under, though.


No terms are acceptable. None. If the leadership supported this, then I support instituting a new chairman.

Question: Why do you think you are boss of the RPP? I was told that "everyone was on board".

You're not liberal in any sense. That's the DA.

Wait a minute, wasn't I the one who came up with this idea, PiT?

Well, specifically I was told "anybody that matters" supports the move. So, make of that what you want.

     Classical liberal. Market liberal. Australian liberal. You get what I mean.

     The lords were on board, but the vassals had other plans, you see. Wink

     Originally, & I pitched it to various members. I think it was Devilman who came up with Liberal Conservative Party, exactly.

I feel this sums up a lot of RPP members ideas and policies.

     I think leadership elections are supposed to be done after the general election, actually.

Can we stop with all of this drama and just get down to business? I didn't rejoin to take part in a Jerry Springer show. Smiley

Although I think Duke has had to face absolute hell during his chairmanship, and I support him, I think we should vote. Seconded.

As a liberal conservative myself I'm not seeing it. I don't see anything remotely 'Cameronian' about the RPP.

I've been proposing adapted Tory 'liberal conservative' policy for the past two Senates Smiley Trust me I'd have noticed.

Of course if you want to go down that European ideological route then all the best to you.

I consider myself a liberal conservative or in Canada, a progressive conservative. I know that many of our members share similar ideologies.
