How do you expect them to deal with the economy when they can't even count properly?
A substantial discrepancy in the final ballot count at the Conservative leadership convention is threatening to spill into open revolt and undermine the electoral legitimacy of new leader Andrew Scheer.
Followers of Maxime Bernier are raising alarm bells about the gap between the votes cast and the final number announced at last weekend's convention, where Mr. Scheer won a razor-thin victory over Mr. Bernier.
"Obviously it is concerning, but I am hoping that the party is working very hard to provide a satisfactory answer to the candidates and the party," Conservative MP Tony Clement, a key player in the Bernier leadership team, told The Globe and Mail on Friday.
A Conservative Party whistleblower is expected to come forward on Monday with a sworn affidavit, detailing troubling questions about the results of the final vote, a member of the Bernier team told The Globe.
The dispute could jeopardize Mr. Scheer's hold on the party leadership if Mr. Bernier – who has a large following among Conservatives – decides to publicly challenge the results. It may also be an indication that Mr. Bernier will not play the role of loyal soldier.
