I'm listening to your interview as I'm writing this comment.
Here's what bugged me the most - wish I could have jumped into the conversation (and added my following response to your challenger, Gerry!)!
If you are naive enough to believe that someone will change to become what you want or need them to be after you marry them, I suppose you might also be naive enough to believe that the CPC will become more conservative after voters give them a majority government.
This is utter nonsense! This is the same naive type of believer that would hope for relief from bullying by negotiating or compliance with a bully. This is also the same naive type of believer who would repeatedly "take back" their spousal abuser, "at their word".
Nothing succeeds like success: If voters give them a majority for not being "too conservative", the CPC will be less likely to become "more conservative", not more likely.
