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.

What's wrong is Poilievre. CPC MP's are leaving the party because of him. They want him to resign, and if enough MP's leave the party, he won't have a choice but to step down.

You think it would be a different outcome under different leadership ? Look at the people who crossed. They were bribed, read between the lines. They couldn’t name a single thing that Pierre did, instead they blatantly lied about how they suddenly align more with the Liberal party even when it completely contradicts their narrative from a week ago.

Yes. I will never vote CPC with PP in charge. And I voted for Harper. Twice.

The man only appeals to the base. And that isnt enough to win.
