For if the current Progressive Conservative leadership race is anything like the last one, it will be democratic in name only. The world’s most famous Tory wasn’t even referring to party leadership races, which can be even less democratic. Theoretically, party members will be doing their due diligence on the rival candidates: policy analysis and character assessment. That’s how a second-rate politician named Patrick Brown finished first in the last leadership race, setting the stage for winning the premiership on June 7. Now, with a mere two weeks before the cut-off date for membership sales in the current leadership race, just underway, rival candidates cannot emulate Brown’s record pace.
