Well, David Orchard was saying yesterday (OK, I accidentally watched some news, sue me for inconsistency) that his lawsuit against the merger has been misunderstood. It's not to stop the merger as such, but to allow those who wish to maintain the Progressive Conservatives as a separate party, to do so. Aside from wanting to be beautiful losers for the rest of time, I can't think why they'd actually bother. All they would be would be a speed bump for most of the current moderate PC's to hop over on their way to join the Liberals.

But good luck to 'em. I reckon the Progressive Conservatives are going the way of the liberal Republicans (remember them? there were some...starting with Abe Lincoln)

It's about power.
