Harper now has the summer to make/plan changes and present these at the Party Convention

Abandon Ship. Many are leaving as the new pension changes will come into effect if they run in the next election,
others are leaving in disgust.
As was mentioned in one article if peter Van loan and the General are left in their present positions, more will take the choice that Rathberger did.

Recall the split in Reform when MP's crossed to sit as Independents.

Yes it is a start. But Van loan and the General have created problems and ill will, same as the PMO Teenyboppers and their direction to MP's.
He has until the Convention to put his house and party in order.
