I think they'll pick Scheer or Bernier as leader.
We have a different system though. It could be the difference between majority and minority government.I'm certain that Jason Kenney's departure from federal politics to try to go run Alberta is a sign that most Conservative insiders think defeating Trudeau in 2019 is a lost cause, so they're just having their Romney moment. 2023 will be the interesting election to watch.
I would say its a sign that the Conservatives wants a leader NOT from Alberta. If you look at federal leaders, the Conservatives had the most geographic diversity in their leaders.I'm certain that Jason Kenney's departure from federal politics to try to go run Alberta is a sign that most Conservative insiders think defeating Trudeau in 2019 is a lost cause, so they're just having their Romney moment. 2023 will be the interesting election to watch.

Harper was part Ontario, part Alberta (I put it at 25%/75%)
Layton was part Quebec, part Ontario.
Its really hard to put some leaders into their correct geographic slot.
I agree that choosing the riding that they represented would be a consistent measure, but not likely very accurate.
