Its not like she ran for election for one party then, without even sitting a single day as a member, switched parties in exchange for a cabinet post. |
A year is far from a long time in a party that is just getting it's platform in order and when parliament isn't even in session for most of that year. Her crossing was purely for political and personal gain it had NOTHING to do with party platforms etc. That much is pretty much obvious now IMO.
