I gave her more credit than JTK did when she first came on the scene and I thought her crossing the floor was a gutsy move that showed her dedication to her ideals etc, etc.
But quitting now when the going gets tough and the prestige is absent? She couldn't wait a few months for the next Federal election? It makes me feel like she was only in it for the perks and doesn't give a lick for her constituancy.
This move also plays into the hands of those who believe that Women aren't cut out for politics. I doubt that's a majority view but it still plays on the subconcious.
How disappointing.
