215. Being more conservative didn't hold those seats.
So there's really nothing to lose by running more progressive candidates since we've never tried it, and bringing out the progressve and Independent vote who probably felt they had no one to vote for this time. It will generate a huge amount of energy also.

I wonder why the attitude is always negative towards attempting to bring this party back to its roots. Why not see the glass half full by stating the fact that being more Conservative was no a winning strategy, rather than predicting something we don't know and haven't tried very hard to do?
