BELINDA WAVES BYE BYE
Belinda Stronach has finally decided that she’s had enough of playing politics. I can’t really blame her. Over the course of her political career it has become more and more clear that she and politics would be better without one another. Between her laundry list of tough losses and embarrassing moments, and her general lack of substance as an MP, her career as a public servant has been fruitless for her as well as for the public.
A quick recap of her few years in politics includes a failed leadership bid; a messy and publicized break up with current Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay; and a relationship with the tabloids that resembles that of a Hollywood actress or member of the English Monarchy.
All this without mentioning that she jumped ship from the Conservative party a bare few months before it was to come to power for the first time in more than a decade. Belinda is the ultimate bad luck charm during a federal election. I don’t know if these things are a result of bad luck or bad instincts on her part, but I do know that she’s probably better off calling it quits sooner rather than later.
