I agree, it would be better if they could avoid the really crass appointments.
The trouble is, we live in a real world where excellent appointees like Gwyn Morgan are dragged through the mud as badly or worse than hacks and losers like Fabian Manning and Josee Verner.
Most Gwyn Morgan's of the world are not interested so after you appoint all the Bert Browns, Mike Duffies, Linda Frums and Pamela Wallins you're left with appointing relative unknowns (people with no public profile), unknown friendlies (party volunteers) and well known friendlies (former riding presidents, former PMO workers, former candidates, former election committee members). It's crappy but that's the system and the sooner it can be changed, the better.
