She had no real experience for the job though and consequently (along with other issues) she was lambasted for that.
Change for the sake of change is what we're talking about here. Its a combination of no experience and then mixed with some PCs who jumped early because they didn't love Stelmach and what he was doing. Thats hardly a recipe for success.

I can't begin to tell you how much I disagree with this sentiment.
If someone has held a real job, some real life experience, or run a business, then they are likely supremely qualified compared to most of the career life politicians characterized by the PC's.
All they've learned is how to pull the most they can from the public teat and reap personal benefits from the public dole.
A change would likely lead to improved government, not worse.
