VANCOUVER SUN: Clinging to power while finding a new leader is a favoured strategy for BC political parties
Vaughn Palmer: Expect Christy Clark to push that point if she runs to replace Justin Trudeau
... Christy Clark is expected to seek the leadership of the federal
Liberals. Though she’s been out of office for going on eight years, the
taste for politics, once acquired, is not easily shed. She once compared
it to an old boyfriend.
“In the first few months after you
leave you still remember the reasons why you left,” she told BC
Business magazine. “Then a couple of years down the road, you’re sitting
alone at night by yourself in your living room, maybe into a glass of
wine, and you’re thinking ‘God that guy was great! I miss him so much,’
And you pick up the phone and dial.”
Lately Clark has been trying to reconnect with her old flame, politics.
She’d
have less time to turn things around this year. Still, she’ll be
mentioning, — in a “been there, done that” sort of way — how she pulled
out the big win after an unpopular leader stepped down.
