CBC poll aggregator puts the probabilities of next year’s federal election outcomes at Conservative majority–94%, Conservative minority–4%, Liberal government–1%.
I didn’t realize things were this bleak.
I feel some deja vu watching Trudeau refuse to step aside (early enough), just like with Biden.
A friend of mine thinks no one really wants to replace Trudeau as Liberal leader, for what’s most likely to be a decisive loss.
I posted an article with a headline about Trudeau’s GST holiday and $200 checks signalling that he’s out of ideas or that it ‘smacks of desperation’. Lemmy.ca didn’t seem to like it much. But I look at the gesture like, “that’s the best you can do for a fighting chance at forming a government?”
I don’t like their disinclination to truly represent the working classes, and the general loss of that representation in politics more widely at the moment (eg, shift towards conservativism and authoritinarianism).
Are we just defeatedly marching towards 4 years of a PP government? Realistically, can/will anything be done, even for a greater chance at a Conservative minority, never mind an ABC government?
I like how we have 2 parties that keep getting voted in and fucking things up and the flame keeps getting bigger every time they pass off the baton and the NDP are in the corner blasting themselves in the face with the fire extinguisher.
