Will the Canadian Tories arise to fight and win again? Or, as Financial Post presumes, will they slide down into oblivion, which would be a "fatal combination of a hated prime minister (Brian Mulroney) and his inexperienced successor (Kim Campbell)"? In 1996 Financial Post called this question one of the central concerns in Canadian politics. Three years have passed since then, but the question is still important. "Who killed the Progressive Conservatives?" Financial Post asks. This question may be regarded as rhetorical or even premature. After all, how could a great political organization, like the party of Sir John A. Macdonald fade away so quickly?
Something I don't understand is how could Conservatives let Joe Clark lead the party again? I can assume that his friends forewarning is true and the party will reject him after the next election. But still, he is an old leader who has failed the party and returned in power after many years of oblivion. This is an event that has never happened to U.K. Tories - anybody, who made a mistake while being in power in Britain, never came back. This does not the party make the party look good. On the other hand, I may be too serious about the image Joe Clark is creating. Many people may not even have a clue about who he is. The fact that he has already shown Canadians that he is no candidate for a Prime Minister, may be out of sight for most of them. Be that as it may, but I believe that with a leader like Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, the Tories have only minimal chances to get into the office.
No, Canadian Tories have not yet fallen into oblivion. They keep 19 seats in the House of Commons. Yet, they are less popular than the Opposition party. Whose fault is it? We may be only partially right while blaming the Conservatives themselves. One of the reason why they are so unpopular at this time is their leaders. The fact that several Conservative Prime Ministers in a row somehow screwed up made the public to keep some distance from the party. In any case, this simple coincidence (or fate?) has been keeping the old guard away from the legislating for almost six years now.
