Now in case of Doug Ford, in addition to him simply being craven and overly concerned about what shrieking and booing leftists have to say about him, he also made a catastrophic strategic mistake right out of the gate.
Being the spineless worm that he apparently is, instead of just going big right out of the gate, do it all at once, one omnibus bill after the next, he instead tried to run his platform out one thing at a time, drip, drip, drip.
So with each drip another pack of shrieking entrenched interests come out of the woodwork, so it's just slogging through each defensive position, linear, one after the next, so he was ground to a halt.
The way to do it is a coup de main, all at once, one fell swoop, then just let all the entrenched interests shriek at once, so it becomes a cacophony and people tune it out.
Four years later when the books are in order and the situation has stabilized, you can run on your record. But you never get if you roll it out drip, drip, drip, because friction causes your own MP's to chicken out and abandon you.
