Some social conservatives view the massive influx of new Conservative Party members as an “opportunity” to strengthen their movement’s influence within the party.
It remains to be seen, however, how successful “socon” groups will be at recruiting from the roughly 400,000 new members the party claims to have signed up over the current leadership race – or how beholden the likely next leader, Pierre Poilievre, will be to the faction.
The press never really lets up on the “Conservative hidden agenda” schtick. But to be frank I suspect the Socons will be ignored and silenced if not exiled by the CPC “braintrust” regardless of who is elected leader.
