I want to know which campaigns were responsible for fraudulently creating over 1,300 memberships before I cast my vote for leadership. It's been weeks since the revelations were made and over one week since both Lisa Raitt and Maxime Bernier called on the party to trace the memberships and IP addresses they were sold from back to a culprit. Heading into April, we still have no names or penalties being doled out.
I don't want someone who can't be trusted leading the Conservative Party, but what I want even less is a party establishment that tries to protect leadership candidates who've broken the rules. If the party is trying not to interfere in the leadership election by planning to wait until it ends, they're being shady. If the party still has no idea who was responsible, they're incompetent. There's no excuse for failing to follow the breadcrumbs.
Luckily, tracing IP addresses isn't the only way to find out who the culprits are. Actually doing some investigative work requires competence. Doing so would involve extensive interviews and audits, as well as trying to find out what all of the fraudulent memberships have in common.

YOU do? Well go get 'em Tiger.
