Sloan became an independent MP earlier this year when he was removed from the Conservative Party of Canada.

Former conservative senator, Hugh Segal, says Sloan’s move to create a new party could negatively impact his former party.

“If he’ll be more to the right, he’ll obviously be taking some votes away from the Conservatives at that far right-winged edge in his constituency and other constituencies where there may be candidates for his new party,” said Segal.

He’ll be vying with Max Bernier for the crackpot vote. I think the PPC got ~2% of the vote…

I agree with him that a lot of Canadians feel disenfranchised by the present system but he is one of the last people I would look to to fix it.
