>While the polls differ on the magnitude of this sudden shift in public opinion, they all agree on the direction of the trend. The events of recent months, to varying degrees, have reshaped the political landscape. We may have a real race, after all, once the writ drops later this year.
>Some observers have been quick to point to past examples of new leaders and prime ministers enjoying short-lived honeymoons before crashing in a general election: John Turner in 1984, Kim Campbell in 1993. While these are valid precedents, nothing is set in stone. Both Campbell and Turner ran terribly poor campaigns that turned their respective honeymoons into political disasters, ultimately resulting in crushing defeats. We shall soon see whether history will repeat itself in 2025. Assuredly, more events are to come.
