Sounds like a great idea. Cut moderate Republicans off and divide the party in a way that would dwarf in size the problem the Left has with the Green party. That would relegate us to minority status overnight.

They were only one election away from completely wiping out the Red Tory menace.The Alliance , even in the absence of the PCP , would never achieve enough popularity east of the Ontario /Manitoba border to win . But combined , in the last election , Alliance and PCP votes were greater than the wining Liberal vote in something like 30 seats in Ontario alone. Thirty seats that should have had a Conservative MP . But a vote for the PCP does not mean a vote for the Alliance . Red Tories will be driven out , and some radical right Alliance will be left in the dust .
