It's politics and this type of this will always happen. Should it happen though if you are trying to stand as the white knight in the face of corruption. Does this not leave a bad taste and a question mark? Does this not allow everyone who said "Hidden agenda" a few weeks ago to point their finger and say "SEE!!!! It's happening!!!"?

It's prudent in this case because they needed this to gain a majority when voting with the NDP. They can now align with any other party and have a majority. With Belinda, it wasn't necessary for the Liberals to have one more seat to get that support.
