Bully for Belinda
The news of the past two days that auto parts maven Belinda Stronach is seriously contemplating entering the race to lead the new Conservative Party has been, to put it mildly, surprising. When rumours of her interest starting surfacing I dismissed it as little more than a brilliant PR ploy by her various advisers (you know who you are!) but I was wrong. She is apparently quite serious about this.
Belinda Stronach would bring a lot of credibility to the race. She would no doubt run as a socially liberal candidate, thus giving more moderate types a candidate to support. She would bring a lot of Bay St. cash, too. While I have no clue what her positions are on virtually any issue, I hope she takes the plunge. She's beautiful, high profile, runs a great company and will bring new people into the party and the race. The more candidates the better.
