Mr. Speaker, we have uncovered the top 10 reasons why real conservatives are leaving the Joe Clark party and joining the Canadian Alliance.
Ten: More people have joined the Canadian Alliance in the last month than the PCs currently have in their entire membership.
Nine: Contrary to what Joe Clark has said, things actually have changed since 1979.
Eight: They want a party that has not spent itself so far into the red that it makes a Liberal look like a tightwad.
Seven: We want a party where Jurassic only refers to a movie.
Six: They do not want a party where endangered species actually refers to them.
Five: They want a party where if the leader was arrested for being a conservative, the case would not be thrown out for lack of evidence.
Four: They want a party and a leader who can actually count.
Three: David Orchard.
Two: They want results in their lifetime.
The number one reason why real conservatives are leaving the Joe Clark party and joining the Canadian Alliance is that they want an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting 21st century political movement that will bring common sense to the House of Commons.
