Others insisted that a legitimate ideological gulf existed between the more ideological Alliance and the more moderate <a href="/wiki/Red_Tory" title="Red Tory">Red Tory</a>-influenced PC Party, pointing to surveys that indicated many Tory voters would rather select the Liberals as their second choice than the Alliance. This seemed to be particularly born out in Ontario. The Liberals won all but one seat in that province in 1993 and 1997, and all but two in 2000—an era that was dominated by the provincial Tories. This was largely because many former bellwether ridings in suburban <a href="/wiki/Toronto" title="Toronto">Toronto</a> (known as "the 905", after its <a href="/wiki/Area_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Area code">area code</a>) turned almost solidly Liberal for most of the 1990s at the federal level while supporting the Tories at the provincial level. </p><p>Charest stepped down from the leadership in 1998 to become leader of the <a href="/wiki/Quebec_Liberal_Party" title="Quebec Liberal Party">Quebec Liberal Party</a>. Former leader Joe Clark returned to the post in a vote in which all party members were eligible to cast ballots, instead of a traditional leadership convention. A point system allocated each riding 100 points to be distributed among the candidates by proportional representation according to votes cast by party members in the riding. (This same system was used by the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004.) In the <a href="/wiki/2000_Canadian_federal_election" title="2000 Canadian federal election">2000 election</a> Clark was able to garner the 12 seats necessary for official party status, but no more. </p><p>Clark realized that as long as the centre-right vote was divided, there was no chance of dislodging the Liberals<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

After only a few months as party leader though, MacKay reneged on his promise and proceeded to negotiate a merger with the Alliance, which he announced had occurred on October 15, 2003. The two parties, it seemed, united to form a new party called the Conservative Party of Canada. The union was ratified on December 5 and 6 in a process conducted by each of the parties, and the new Conservative Party was formally registered on December 7.
