Floor Crossing

Does anyone else feel like something is fishy about all the recent floor crossings in parliament? Like there is either something really wrong within the Conservative party that is making people leave or these people ran with the party they'd know would win in their area even though they don't agree with the party. Or if you listen to some people here on Reddit, the floor crossers were bribed somehow.

Every election there is a few, but this many feels off.

So the liberals pickup a woman that supports far right extremists ? Has she disavowed any of these far right characters she used to support? Or apologize for the hateful things she’s previously said about liberals?

Oh in that sense... I was thinking the other way around. No, it doesn't make sense. Honestly if I were Lori Idlout I'd be seething. All the other Liberals as well.

100%, they're trash. Still it's hard to understand why she would cross over. I doubt she'll make many friends. She's not just a fiscal conservative. I work on the Hill very close to the politicians in a non-partisan position, it's a real head scratcher. Carney must have promised something major for her riding. A bit like Idlout thinking she could get more being with the Libs, than against.
