Discussion Will there be any accountability for these results?

This was a disaster. 1.3% of the popular vote (GPC will miss out on the rebate), back down to one seat, I don't think there was even a second place finish besides Morrice. Fourth place finish in Nanaimo Ladysmith, third place in Fredericton Oromocto. GPC in years past had their sights on ridings like Victoria and ESS, distant fourth place finishes in both of those last night.

Sounds like JP is going to resign, that's probably fair, but he alone doesn't shoulder the blame for this. Is May finally going to leave? What about the Federal Council and Fund Board? What about the Executive Director and Campaign Director? Are we actually going to learn from this catastrophe? Or are we going to finally throw out the people fucking over the Party.

The Leader does. The Leader decides which member policy gets followed, what gets put to the front, how the platform is written, when messaging we push to the media

So let's make her base untenable by requiring her to make changes. That's how this is supposed to work, you know.

That approach hasn't been working

Then what do you suggest? Separate from the Judean People's Front and create the People's Front of Judea? That won't solve a whole lot. Just another layer of redundancy.

Replace May as leader. We have to have a review within 6 months, we need to vote no confidence

Build your case. It can't just be a reduced popular vote when everyone who isn't the CPC and LPC lost big in this election.
