Hamilton – Ontario Conservative and Progressive party leader John Tory is facing a lot of criticism with his decision to continue on as leader.  He has shown a fair amount of confusion in announcing his decision recently to stay on as leader.

In an event on Saturday, nearly 1300 Conservative delegates voted, and John Tory received a 66.9 percent approval rating in the voting. This was an opportunity for those in the Conservative Party to censor or even eliminate John Tory from the scene.  Many in the Conservative party are still angry about the 2007 election campaign oversaw by Tory in which the party lost a lot of popular support.

Tory is calling for Conservatives to support his decision to remain as leader for the time being.  But many conservatives are not so sure. “The Party has given its decision and its time to move on,” said John Tory after the Vote.  Many in the Conservative part feel that following the vote that John Tory further damaged his efforts at leadership by his hesitation and confusion.

It remains to be seen if the leadership of John Tory in the coming months will satisfy those in the Conservative Party who are most critical.
