For the new Opposition leader, winning the Tory leadership race was one thing; winning a federal election will be another.
Winning his party’s leadership was a breeze. Winning over enough members of the general voting public to form government is an entirely different task, and surely a much more difficult one.
One of Poilievre’s biggest strengths is his ability as a communicator. The trick for him now is to employ that skill talking about the issues that will resonate with voters who have not voted for his party in recent elections. However, if Poilievre can pivot and make such issues as affordability, taxation and housing his top priorities, he may catch lightning in a bottle. Many commentators think he will also mine the immigrant vote as both Liberal and Conservative governments successfully did in the past.
Their inevitable attacks may get a rise out of Poilievre, and cause him to overreach or play into claims that he is wannabe demagogue who is not particularly supportive of democracy.
