Belinda Reenacts Her Time in University :)

Well its official....well it was on the 6th but I am writing about it now....Belinda Stronach has dropped out of the Liberal Leadership Race. Now I wasn't a fan of Belinda running for office due to her crossing the floor last year which makes her look like a turncoat running for the Liberals but I do have a lot of respect for her dropping out and letting someone else who has been a Liberal longer than a year or two run the party. Her reasoning was the fact that the Liberals don't have the one member, one vote crap that the Cons have but I do believe that she dropped out because of how people would view her and she would never get a fair chance in the party. Having the current Liberal voting procedures does give Canada a voice in who becomes leader of the Liberals and not Ontario and Quebec. This is the fundamental flaw in the entire one person, one vote crap that everyone is spouting. In the end, it would make it even worse for any other province to have any influence aside from Ontario and Quebec. The best situation for elections in such a distinct nation as Canada is the status quo. We found the best way possible and now people want to change it because they don't know any better.

Anyways, back to the original topic, I am proud of Belinda for dropping out of the election and if she does want to spend the money.....I would be happy to accept her contribution and throw my name into the ring for the leader of the Liberal Party. Hell, as the most attractive Member of Parliament since Herb Grey left it is her duty to give me money so I can run for the leadership.
