So...the People's Party of Canada is polling at eleven percent.
If they can hold that number, it's excellent news in more ways than one. Not only might they pick up seats, but they'd cause a "UKIP effect" (I coined the term!) where the mere possibility of them winning seats causes the establishment right to shit its pants and start doing what the electorate wants. Even better, during the chaos of this reorientation (which usually leads to internal strife) the part of the party most like the external threat tends to take control.
Say what you will about the British Conservative Party of 2021, but pro-EU they are not and the precedent is set for nudging the stubborn bastards in the right direction.
We will win in the end, lads. Mark my words.
