    A party spokesperson tells me 2,558 ballots were cast in this leadership review election. That’s a 95 per cent turnout.

    This is the stat I haven’t seen anyone discussing here yet. Poilievre is overwhelmingly the modern Conservative’s ride or die.

        At $1000 a seat at the convention, it isn’t just rabid fans, it is elites with money to spend on buying politicians to do what they are told for donations.
