Election Victory Dept: In an interview airing Saturday on Radio's The House, Jason Kenney said he believes it is unjust for a riding with five or 10 members gets the same weight as a riding with 5,000 members, according to CBC. Party members are in Ottawa Saturday for the Conservatives' first convention since last month's election victory amid the beginnings of a power struggle between the party's former Progressive Conservatives and ex-Canadian Alliance members. Under the current system, every riding association is allocated 100 points, no matter how many members it has and canada's Immigration Minister says Conservative electoral district associations with more card-carrying members should hold more weight than smaller associations as delegates at the Tory convention are set to vote on an amendment to rules for choosing future party leaders. "There is a real lack of equity there and there is no incentive for the riding with five or 10 members to grow, to recruit, to sell new membership," he told host Chris Hall. As
