Current rabble poll

Can Harper withstand the current scandals and stay in power?

This week, a Conservative MP resigned over transparency and accountability, and new details emerged about the Nigel Wright - Mike Duffy payoff. Traditional supporters and sympathetic voices in the media are scathing about Harper's conduct and handling of the current crisis. All this comes in advance of a Conservative Party convention in Calgary at the end of June. Can he survive as the prime minister and as the leader of the Conservative Party?
