Tories Scoff at Liberal Minority Repeat

Posted By: Katie Franzios · 3/5/2013 4:12:00 PM

The Tories at Queen's Park are brushing aside a recent poll that finds that if an election were held today, the Liberals would get another minority government.

It's also a blow to Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, who landed a 51 per cent disapproval rating.

Hudak, however, underlined the only people who think that the province is working properly are Liberal and NDP supporters. He notes whenever he travels the province, people say they want a change in the way things are run.

Hudak has been pitting himself against the governing Liberals, pulling back Tory support on Premier Kathleen Wynne's throne speech.

Wynne maintains polls won't change the way the Liberals govern. She says they will continue to try and find common ground with the opposition.

The latest Forum research poll for the Toronto Star shows Wynne is brought  Liberal popularity back amongst voters.

The survey shows the Liberals would stay constant at  53 seats in the 107-member legislature. The Tories would lose one, taking them down to 36 and the NDP would inch up to 18 seats.

The NDP's Andrea Horwath was given the thumbs up by 44 per cent of those surveyed while Wynne was at 34 per cent approval.

Wynne underlines no one wants an election right now.

    We lambaste the electorate for continually re-electing the liberals despite their dismal record. Unfortunately the same applies to members of the conservative party for continually voting Hudak as leader.

      @proton I really feel bad for Tim Hudak. I'm sure he's a really great guy. However, in the world of politics, he's pretty much screwed. There's nothing that he can do to turn things around, either.

      The problem is, there is no rising star in the conservative party who can replace him. I hate to continually beat this same horse, but the last good chance the conservative party had was John Tory. John fell victim to the tactics of career politicians and the gullible public.

      Remember city councilor Sandra Bussin, who called John's show anonymously, claimed she didn't work for the City of Toronto, and concluded her call by saying, "And good luck to you, John, because you're a three-time loser. And I don't see you being successful in the future."? THIS is the quality of the people who were responsible for pulling John Tory down. Because John is honest, and his opponents aren't. And in politics, it isn't the honest people who generally win, because they can't use the same weapons that their dishonest opponents are free to use.

      So, back to the original point.. No Conservative landslide victory visible in the near future. :-/

    The only man with true conservative values and morals that can get the conservatives a minority, possibly majority, is John Tory!

    Even as a solid Liberal supporter myself, I'd go blue for him anyday, and so would many others!

    The people who talk to Tim are PC supporters, no wonder they tell him that. The people of Ontario voted for who they want Tim..... and IT IS NOT YOU
