Agree, a democracy needs a competent opposition to keep government accountable, regardless of which side is in power. I hope the libs choose someone more centrist and less thug for the next leader. I feel like their party has become stacked with more extreme right wingers over the last decade so probably unlikely.

As I said earlier, voters are never wrong. They can't be.

If the far right bull isn't something voters respond to, they'll have to change if they ever want to win those votes back
