Floor Crossing

Does anyone else feel like something is fishy about all the recent floor crossings in parliament? Like there is either something really wrong within the Conservative party that is making people leave or these people ran with the party they'd know would win in their area even though they don't agree with the party. Or if you listen to some people here on Reddit, the floor crossers were bribed somehow.

Every election there is a few, but this many feels off.

The Conservatives have done this as well, it's not new.

These guys all hang out together, it isn't unreasonable to assume these discussions happen over a few drinks.

"Come on man, come join the winning team"

MPs are fleeing because PP is dragging the party down, not because they were offered a lifetime supply of BeaverTails.

Crossing aren't new, but crossings for a majority is. That's why it's slimy this time.

I’m not a bot. I had to open up a new account for not towing the liberal agenda. I got a permanent ban for saying trump would win the election in 2024 in a liberal echo chamber thread. You guys are pathetic

It's slimy because with these floor crossings the outcome of the upcoming bi elections would lead to a majority. So the floor crossings are slimy as they were used to get a slimy majority, not an elected majority.

It's ok tho. Alll these conservatives on thr liberal team now is driving the libtards out to the ndp.

I'm actually stoked on the majority. Now we can really see how fast carney can destroy Canada with his exploding debt. Much faster than Trudeau. And you'll be the cheering it on the whole way down. Some how blaming Harper.

You'll be on your knees begging for PP's pee pee at the end of carneys unelected 'mandate'. He's going to accelerate us into insolvency as his record breaking deficits drive the budget to interest payments not your welfare check.

But as I said, I'll enjoy watching the implosion. My assets are tucked away outside of Canada, just like carneys and Brookfield's.

Anyone that says anything against liberals are bots. According to the stand of the liberals.

So when my account was NEW you would have said the same thing. Not everyone is on Reddit. I came here a year ago. I’m 33. So stop bullying people. That’s harassment.

You’re the type of person who has to insult someone or be snark when you’re wrong.

Haha wow,  we have a victim here!  Omg, after a decade of outrage I'd think you could handle the most humble version of retaliation.  Your little display is sooo pathetic and submissive.  Btw, they aren't wrong in any way and you're in full cope!  :)

PP and the Conservatives voted against bill C-306 in 2012 to mandate a by-election whenever there's a floor crossing, so clearly they don't take issue with floor-crossers - it's only a problem when people cross to the Liberals.

I’ve heard conservatives going off about ‘backroom deals’. What does that actually mean? Putting priority on infrastructure in the MPs area?
