You have to be kidding! This woman is only interested in herself. She saw that there was no way she would ever have a power position with the "conservatives" and, instead of just deciding to vote by her conscience she flips to the other party!!! How much more we could have admired her beliefs if she had said, either that she would vote against her party, or become an indepenedent. Now that would have been ethical!!
If I was a liberal backbencher I would be furious that a political whimsy can get a cabinet post by betraying her own party, whereas my years of dedicated service is totally negated.
Belinda Stronach has justified the majority view of cynicism about politicians motifs. It has nothing to do with us - Joe Blow public and the good of the country - nor about real beliefs, just about oportunism. Blah!
