It's a common thread in societies that 5 to 10% of people tend to be nuts, that was their target audience. It isn't like the Green party, which still won a few seats due to support being concentrated in certain ridings. The PPC will never win a seat unless they somehow convince a concentrated riding to vote for them. Which they won't. The closest they got was Bernier's riding, and the guy who beat him had more than twice the votes Bernier did. They're unlikely to ever win seats, but they are still appealing to a significant number of people, and I don't think that should be completely written off. Whatever implications that appeal has for the government, it does reflect the beliefs and attitudes of a non-trvial number of people, and I think that's worth paying attention to. --- This is my signature.
