What do you think the Conservative party has become? A "West Bloc" party that only cares about the west. To deny it would be ignorant.
I'll deny that! In a Heartbeat! I happen to neither ignorant or stupid.
The Reform Party started out that way, but became a truly Federal Party, became the
Conservative Party, catering to all of Canada (= where the votes are thickest which in
the West means Vancouver, and the West is a
bit bigger than Vancouver) at the expense
of the West. The Conservatives are now that Ontario-Quebec-Vancouver Party. To
stay in power, the trick is to cater to where the votes are thick and Bob's your Uncle.
The Conservatives are no more of a "West" party than the Greens or Liberals or NDP
or Bloc....and perhaps less so than the others 'cuz we don't have to be bought each
election. We just want to be left alone.
If a Party promises the least in tax expenditures
and a half-promise to just stay out of our business.....it'll take the vote in the west.
The Liberals & NDP haven't figured this out lately, so
that's why the West is a sea of blue.
