In this political climate I think the chances of the right uniting around anyone are pretty low. Too much of a platform is being given to the far right, which ostensibly seems to be full of grifters and opportunists. It's probably why we have 102 candidates that include the likes of Anthony Furey, Giorgio Mammoliti, and Chris Sky.
The right barely voted for Tory in 2014. It was centrists who voted him into power, and I think it's centrists handing Chow the seat.
I should note that I still don't think Chow has this election in the bag. I'm not sure how accurate polling is during an election that is garnering minimal interest.
I don't doubt Chow is leading, but perhaps her lead isn't as strong as it appears. Also, we don't know if a Rob Ford or John Tory endorsement for a candidate could propel them to win.
