The entire point of my post was to respond to the claim that Faytene was some outlier that would get diluted in the legislature. Due to various things you both mentioned in your posts, she will no longer be an outlier type but a strong loyal solider whos voice will be elevated with a Higgs victory. You can support that move or not support that move, but it is the reality.

You make it sound like its the next season of handmaid's tale. Why would elevating her voice matter? Her religion or her gender?
I will easily concede she is not the ideal candidate for Hampton. But that was Gary Crossman's fault for not schooling his hand picked successor -- it was clear that Faytene was running, could get the vote out, had a megaphone at the ready. This was no coronation, but the perspective candidate expected it to be. Which is why he isn't a candidate today and Faytene is.

Will it affect my vote this time around? Probably not (unless I lived in Faytene's riding), but, my attention has been gained, and I will be observing the future direction of the party very carefully. If the rightward drift continues, then my long term support might become very shaky.

Please advise which bills that got royal assent represent a 'rightward shift'?
