In 2020, should the federal CPC change its leader?

I voted Yes for the simple reason that Scheer is now unelectable.

That would make for a pretty good reason.

Scheer's done . . . . 

[jacee]

I don't think Scheer has PM quality, very regional, doesn't even seem much interested in national issues, and I couldn't imagine him being effective internationally at all.

But I don't care if he's out or not. 

Conservatives are looking very 1950's these days, with a touch too much alt-right, and pretty much entirely irrelevant. 

[QuebecOverCanada]

Yes.

Scheer is an idiot, who cheated his way to the CPC's leadership. No charisma, no strong opinions, no leadership. A pure product of the establishment.

[OftenWrong]

That he has fired his public relations team is perfect evidence of what the problem is. Mr. Scheer is correct that he wasn't getting the right message out. But the problem wasn't the message at all in this case. It was the messenger...

Sheer is now permanently damaged whether he deserves it or not. We need to move forward with some one like Ambrose or Raitt.

Uh...he always was.

Oh: I must also declare my support for Lisa and/or Rona.  Yeah, I'd want them even ahead of Max.

Pretty sure I recall Rona is not interested. She was the deputy leader, or interim leader, was she not? 

[cannuck]

A skilled politician will NEVER say they are interested until they have tested the waters and no they have a shot.

Rex says Scheer needs to go away.

An election is an audition for prime minister. Andrew Scheer failed his

The head of the Conservative Party might not have had the intellectual dexterity, the argumentative stamina, and ready wit to take on his opponents

I think Scheer does pretty well in QP but there seems to be a growing call for him to step down.   It's behind a paywall but talked about here  https://www.thepostmillennial.com/breaking-conservative-non-profit-established-to-oust-andrew-scheer/

Scheer gets to ask the questions there. He's not so good at answering them, though. He looks dishonest and weak when confronted.

[Nefarious Banana]

Scheer does not exude power and confidence.  These qualities are needed nowadays with a visually lulled electorate, irregardless of the issue or policy.  The Conservatives are stalled with Scheer at the helm.  He will not win a Federal election.  Step down Andrew, you just don't cut it.
