ABBOTT: Lessons for a Conservative government

Summary

76% Informative

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will be taking nothing for granted and will be trying to win every possible vote.

But after almost a decade of Liberal rule, a smart opposition would be thinking almost as much about how to govern well as how to win the coming election.

Winning an election on a promise to be different is the trap to be avoided by every centre-right political movement on the verge of victory.

Even a big majority in the Canadian House of Commons does not guarantee that an incoming Poilievre government will be able to implement a strong conservative program.

Tony Abbott was prime minister of Australia from 2013-15 and is a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute .
