The current Conservative Party is the result of a forced marriage when Steven Harper engineered a hostile take-over of the old Tory Party by elements of the Reform/Social Credit Party. It is time for a divorce.
Canada needs a moderate centre right "brokerage" party to lead the official opposition and serve as government-in-waiting.
A split in the parliamentary caucus into two parties could happen quickly. It actually happened once before, during the Stockwell Day/Joe Clark era.

If they do split, I'd be curious to see how many from the Liberal Party would defect to the old PC's.
Depending on how messy the "truckers" thing gets. It could cause some discomfort for some MPs.
Who do you think these 35 MPs are?
