Did you feel this way when Stronach left the party and justified it by by saying she was no longer comfortable in the party after Harper took over?

Now c'mon. When someone is asked a pointed question and respond with the line, "I have no plans too do that." you must admit it is generall understood that the person is saying, "No, that isn't going to happen."
I'll definitely agree with you Dion's ultimatum probably precipitated this. I'm not sure what anyone expected since he was already consulting for the PM. That sounds like a strange arrangement.
I agree with everyone else that a sitting member of a party should not be able to switch parties. They should be able to sit as an independant but not switch parties until they run in an election as a member of the new party.
