Check out a column I wrote which appears in today's National Post.
I look at the burning question of what happens to the Conservative Party after Prime Minister Stephen Harper decides to pack it in.

Reminds me of an article titled "TORY, NDP MERGER MAKES MORE SENSE" that was published in The Winnipeg Sun - 2003.10.05 - in their Editorial/Opinion section, page 246 C3, written by Tom Brodbeck.
There should be no surprises to what we're seeing as a result right now, or will see in the future...
I think what you wrote in the NP is pure conjecture. I have no idea why you diss Harper but I'm sure there is a personal dislike involved - a dislike which colours your dialogue.
There is no way you or anybody else can know what will happen to the party when Harper moves on with his life - none of us is psychic and none of us can predict the future.
As for what is happening within the party, I think that is also conjecture - if you're not on the inside (and you certainly are not), then you cannot know for sure.
Gerry Nicholls is a communications consultant and writer who has been called a “political warrior” a “brilliant strategist” and one of the “canniest political observers in Canada.”
He has worked as a consultant in both the United States and Canada and was formerly a senior officer in the National Citizens Coalition.
A regular columnist with the Ottawa Hill Times, his work has also appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in the Sun Media chain; and he has appeared on countless TV and radio public affairs programs. He is the author of the book, Loyal to the Core, Harper, Me and the NCC.
“Loyal to the Core is a daring and provocative work. It deserves to be read by conservative activists and politicos.” – Western Standard
“This is a very important book.” -- Michael Coren, TV host
“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan
"It’s rare to find a politico, however, who is equally passionate about policy and strategy, but columnist, pundit, author and Western Standard blogger Gerry Nicholls is such a person." Matthew Johnson, owner Western Standard
"If you are a conservative who wonders how conservatives can communicate their message in a hostile media climate, Loyal to the Core is a must read." -- At Home in Hespeler
"You HAVE TO read this book!" -- Connie Fournier Free Dominion

I think you're just trying to stir the pot.
How about you do a column on what would happen to a Post-Nicholls Blogging Tories site?
Actually, why don't you just show us?

Watch out Gerry, the Harper drones are starting to cry again.
The members of this sad little cult of "Harperites" tend to lash out with baseless indignation whenever their "Grand Poobah" is scrtutinized.
In a way we can't blame Harper too much. What motive is there for him to change when these buffoons will lap up everything coming from the PMO?
