This is exactly what is so crazy about politics right now. I can understand disagreements about things; for example, maybe I want increased spending on public transit and somebody else wants increased spending on roads. But the idea of voting for the current incarnation of the PCs because they’re fiscally responsible — that’s just nutty. Democracy won’t work if a large fraction of voters refuse to consider basic suitability for the job when making their choices.
Not just basic suitability, but reality...the policies that the PCs have been promising aren't fiscally responsible. They're not even willing to acknowledge what they're voting for.
