He should come back more mature, and ideally without making a messy coalition comprised of turncoats and establishment pets. He says he wants a 2/3s majority, but that’s not realistic in the current political context.
Hence, he’ll have to work around the current system. Which means operating within the confines of the constitution, not being able to centralise power due to the 18th (IMO this is a good thing for every province). And being subject to the usual legal review, and parliamentary and senate arithmetic.
One thing he will need to humble himself to do and which he has been very resistant to, is acting like a member of parliament. He is elected as an MNA into it, and from it he may be elected as PM. So far he’s shown a disliking for parliament, he only ever shows up if he’s got absolutely no choice, otherwise he sees it as beneath him - this has to change in the long run. All PMs must run the show via parliament, and in the end this also speaks to having enough of a presence in the NA to be able to pass bills as opposed to being heavily reliant on time constrained ordinances, although I see that he had no choice in the latter in his last run as PM.
Given the nature of the personalities involved, and the system that they all must work within, the likelihood of any of that happening is between zero and nil.
