| Party death? It's happened before. Seen any whigs or federalists around lately?
When a party dies it usually comes back with radically altered ideology, occasionally on the opposite side of the political spectrum. I have a feeling that if they do cease to exist as an election-winning force they will return much further to the left. They've spent enough time talking about the evils of corporate greed recently; if they decide that really sells better it'll become a plank in their party and the free market worship will be de-emphasized. They may go all the way and respin their nationalism as a justification for socialism and outflank us to the left.
I think it goes without saying the any suggestion to invade Canada is mind-numbingly stupid. |
