Questions
A lot of bloggers are dismayed by the Conservative Party's decision to take a stand against SSM. I think in theory, I am too.
Most of these bloggers tend to be either Red Toryish or Libertarian in their leaning, and most of them remind me of Joe Clark, because of their contempt for social conservatives and what seems to be their intolerance for all views except their own.
Most libertarians I've encountered are usually remarkably mature in their disagreements with So-Con policies because they generally tend to 'agree to disagree' in the interests of a greater goal (i.e. a united conservative movement).
People who pack up and leave based on a single issue (some red tories and some libertarianish types) just come across as entirely immature and unreasonable.
They come across as seemingly smarter versions of the main problem that haunted Joe Clark, which was his contempt for social conservatives and his fight to see to it that they had no representation whatsoever in elected politics.
So to my questions: If the Conservative Party drops all so-con policies, particularly in relation to SSM, where do so-con voters go? Is it perfectly fine to completely disinfranchise them? Do they not deserve representation? Is it not possible to have a party with a big enough tent to include people who disagree on a single issue?
