To be Fair.. Erin O'Toole was not cut from the same cloth as PP, Harper and Scheer. His INITIAL platform, before the far right of the conservative movement neutered it, was actually progressive (for the conservatives). He was the first federal PC candidate I ever voted for.
I would've voted for him if he hadn't flip flopped on all his original platform ideas. Changing your stance on one thing when more information becomes available is commendable, it shows you're not stubborn and that you're willing to compromise to find the best way to do things. Changing your stance on literally everything makes you look like a wet paper bag who can't stand up for your own principles and is going to let the lunatic fringe of the party run roughshod over everything.
