I don't really like Belinda Stronach as a politician. I was upset when she came second to Harper ahead of Peter Mckay. I couldn't understand why all the conservatives who voted for her as their leader would do so knowing she had no political knowledge at the time. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, shes not going to get anywhere in the Liberal party, so even if it is ambition, it doesn't really matter.
What it does affect is the upcoming budget vote. Essentially it comes down to the two independent members. If they split, the speaker will vote for the government. Thus, the conservatives need both independents to vote against the budget. It'll be very close and interesting. Personally, i'd like the government to fall because nothing is getting done in the house, and if the liberals win the vote, i doubt the conservatives will let it go and just continue on as normal. Everything would still be fucked up.
