There are some weird situations here going forward though. Say you're Rob Anderson or Heather Forsyth...how do you go back to the PC's now? Have the bridges been burned? Or maybe an MLA for the Wildrose who has already won the nomination for the next election...crossing the floor seems like it would be a disaster in some sense now?
I mean maybe everything is cool in the party still, but it seems like it is the beginning of the end here.

Heather Forsyth is quitting politics for personal reasons
Quote:
The 64-year-old Calgary-Fish Creek MLA said the decision was made for “personal reasons.”
“At this time I’m doing one day at a time, so I will see how things go over the next few weeks,” Forsyth said at the Wildrose annual general meeting.
Forsyth has been dealing with hearing issues and now travels with a service dog that can alert her to different sounds.
