The federal Liberals, no matter how badly they screw up, get to stay in power because the Conservative Party doesn’t know how to win or maintain support.

Pierre Poilievre managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, despite the fact he spent nearly his entire adult life in politics, and Mark Carvey is a newbie.

It’s a stunning fall from the top.

The Conservative Party burns through leaders who don’t fight to win. They fight not to lose whatever support they have, which is a fatal error in politics.

It’s not go with whoever will have you.

And it explains why the Liberals keep ruling for the last decade, and why the Conservatives can’t pull themselves together.
