Ya, she is cooked. Going to have to pull hard to get that fence out of her ass.
She spoke today and blamed the NDP for the separatists and said she was the reason people voted to stay.
WTF?!? That is some Trumpian mental gymnastics.
She leaned on the scales to give this movement momentum -- she wasn't on the fence. Even her comments about how there won't be another referendum/vote "as long as I'm premier" is basically her providing the path forward for more bullshit. "Replace me as the leader of the party, and continue on people!".
Ya, she was talking out of both sides of her mouth.
But the party is a bit in trouble too. Not from always blue voters but from the separatist wing cowards that should start their own party. Not that I care if the UCP survives.
That'll get us rank choice voting in record time !
They'll just put someone worse in charge. The only move they have is to double down.
I get the impression most people who live here are ignorant about the UCP and think Smith is just an outlier instead of researching for 3 seconds to see the entire party is compromised.
