Nanos sees three possibilities to satisfy the appetite for change. Make Pierre Poilievre prime minister. Or retain Justin Trudeau with “new things in the window.” Or switch to a new Liberal leader who is a so-called “blue Liberal” — someone who would take the party back towards the centre, with a more fiscally conservative vision for the country.

What does a blue liberal look like these days?

I don't know. Isn't the colour of the liberal party red, but the current one pretty fucking blue already?

Trudeau's policies were actually a shift left, which is part of why the supply-and-confidence agreement is going so well - there's real overlap with the NDP now.

Moving back right either economically or socially seems tricky. Few voters are excited about reduced social spending, and moving right socially would really anger a lot of the Liberal base. If the change of direction was a stronger defense policy I guess I could get behind that.
