I mean his resume should scream fiscal responsibility, calm and steady leadership, deep understanding of business and gov't, with a healthy dose of social conscience. He's got strong beliefs that are left wing but this is no bleeding heart liberal, this is a pragmatic, realist that's seen what works in a healthy economy (and that's investing in your people, redistributing wealth, addressing the future).
If he can tell that story and get above the sound bites/lies that PP tells he could have a slim chance of winning (the election is PP's to lose though). He's the most qualified potential PM in a long, long time.
What fiscal Conservative could legitimately say to make PP look like the better candidate? Or to justify voting for PP over Carney? Nothing.
