3. She resigns and kicks off a by-election. By-elections are always tougher for the ruling party to win, especially when it is linked to a scandal. The PC party really does not want to have a tight publicized race before or during the leadership race. They may also want to hold her seat so that someone like Jim Prentice can take it in a by-election if he is nominated to lead the PC party.

I disagree with you. What would best would be:
1. She does the job she was elected and is paid to do and keeps a low profile, thereby not causing any distraction.
Former party leaders have certainly done this in the past... why should Queen Allison be any different?
