O'Leary is a serious threat because you can never over estimate the intelligence of the electorate. Voters like simple solutions even if they don't respond appropriately to the complexity of the problem. They like to be told they are paying too much tax and that unions are the problem instead of themselves. And until Conservatives abandon the politics of selfishness and greed, acknowledge the fallacy of supply-side economics and understand that government has a significant role to play in an economy, they remain totally unfit for elected office. Sadly, we have examples of buffoons like Mike Harris, Ronald Reagan, and Rob Ford who remind us that voters are either irresponsible or stupid.
