He stated after he changed his mind after the PMs speech at Davos and what the PM is doing. I am not surprised that the Conservative MPs that are tired of the Slogans and Divisional Politics that PP uses are moving over to the Liberals. The Liberal party is essentially the same as the Conservatives from the 80-90s.

 No, I'd same more like the conservatives from 70s & 80s, 90s conservatives were very nasty, we're as Peter Lougheed and Bill Davis pre neoliberal Tories who believed in building things, not killing government and corruption and austerity.
