Now this bothers me. Where is the transparency Harper was promising? Turner raises a thought, which I agree with, the guy should serve the party he ran with or have a byelection.
Just the notion now that Turner is on the outs within caucus and more than likely relegated to the furthest of backbenches really sounds like meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I agree with what Charlatan said earlier, that Harper has to be squeeky clean. If he completely screws this up, the Conservatives will be waiting a lot longer than 12 years to regain power again.
