OTTAWA (Sun Media) — Conservative -turned- Liberal MP Belinda Stronach has quit politics and is returning to work for her father’s auto manufacturing empire.I think I sprained something when my eyes started rolling upon reading this news. When the new Conservative party formed and the leadership race began between Stronarch, Harper, and Tony Clement I thought, like a lot of people, that her lack of political experience was a shortcoming but more importantly her lack of doing anything for a longer period than a couple years was even more damning. Its easy to be considered a success when your family starts off rich.
Belinda claimed she was in politics for the long haul after she lost the Conservative leadership bid but apparently long haul means something different in my world than hers. Heck, she couldn't even stay Conservative for more than a year or two so no surprise she doesn't want to stay Liberal either.
Maybe she got disillusioned and is moving on to something more rewarding, but deep down I suspect she just got bored with the hard work and is moving on to something more exciting.
At the end of the day, who cares? OK, ranting over.
