Actually there is something interesting in this Poll.
32% support the Cons (to refer to them as the 'Tories' somehow identifies them with the PC party. These parties are as different as black and white, well, black and blue anyway). This, of course, is no surprise and is statistically in line with my long touted 33% rule - i.e 33% are die-hard Con supporters who will support Stephen Harper and the Con's financially, man-power-wise and voting, just about no matter what.
What is interesting is that 25% picked Harper and the Con's as the party which holds values closest to their own. Could it be that there is a rift appearing in the ranks of the Con supporters. Presumably the extreme-extreme-right-wing is dissatisfied with the direction the extreme-right-wing Harper gang is going. This Poll would suggest that this faction represents about 8 % points of the 33 % points. When you consider the rise of the Wildrose Party in Alberta, perhaps we will be seeing a new ultra-extreme right wing emerging nationally.
Or, perhaps Stephen Harper and his gang will return to his extremist, ideologically based roots. This may explain to very extreme right wing and regressive international policy on health of women excluding family planning reversing Canada's 25 year old position and flying in the face of reason and other G8 members.
By the way the Wildrose Party merged with the Alberta Alliance Party to form the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta.
Apparently, some of their basic tenets are:
"Reducing by constitutional means the enormous net outflow of wealth from Albertans to the federal government"
"Ensuring that provincial decisions better reflect the mainstream values and priorities of most Albertans"
"Ensuring that the party's Leader and MLAs honour their election promises and commitments"
