The new Conservative party led by Harper has carefully wiped out all its progressive elements to create a "reprehensible" right-wing movement, Senator Lowell Murray said one day before a tight federal vote.
The old Tories were "a moderate, centrist influence on Canadian politics," Murray said in an interview today from a vacation home in his native Cape Breton, N.S.

4. Depends what you mean. They won't win any more than a minority
