28. They won't raise the wedge issues.

Harper will stop those MPs from raising that particular issue. And I'll tell you why.


A good chunk of the Con vote is comprised of people who aren't religious. All the Con voters I know despise the religious right and actually ridicule the republicans in the US.

The only reason a lot of those people vote conservative is they want to pay less taxes (yes, they are pretty selfish as well), and they dislike scandals. With this robocall thingy, my far-right brother said if it turns out the party had anything to do with it (and he thinks it looks like they might have) the cons will never have his vote again. They are very much people who believe in the whole work hard, pull yourself up stuff, but the difference between the US and here is they aren't religious. I know plenty of con voters (I'm surrounded by them in fact) and not one of them is anti-abortion. Not. One. The cons would lose tons of votes if they 'went there', IMO.
