PM Harper is a prisoner of his own ideology

PM Harper is a prisoner of his own ideology. His support within his party are from two sources: Alberta and the Harris left over MPs in Ontario. Harper is held captive to these two groups. Any move to the left of them towards the centre, may cost him his political life.

Harper is constantly trying to sell the party to his MPs in other areas. In addition, he has to sell his party to Canadians. Harper will eventually fail to constantly reconciling the Reformed-Harris left overs with the centrist MPs. He will eventually fail and the CPC will disintegrate into two or more parties, thus ushering the end of the Stalin-Conservatives era, Canada has been experimenting with.
