So her constituents wanted a liberal representing them?? If they did they would have voted for one.
Wonder if she even bothered to ask those she "represents" if they wanted her to make this move.

She will still have to get re-elected.
It's hard to believe that she made this move without doing some research to satisfy herself that the majority of people in her riding would approve next election.
She couldn't be that stupid, could she? [/b][/quote]
There is the distinct possibility that she won her riding based on popularity and 'wow' factor. I suspect that, not unlike a junior high school council election, she may still win a vote based on popularity.
In fact I would argue that she could win her riding whether running for Liberals, Conservatives or NDP.
Perhaps that is partly why Mr. Crunch feels democracy has taken a hit.
