… It’s not an easy thing to stand in front of a party leader — a prime minister — and tell him he should resign. It’s not an easy thing when that prime minister doesn’t like criticism and surrounds himself with people who tend to protect him from advice he doesn’t want to hear. It’s not an easy thing when cabinet and parliamentary secretary positions — and the perks and future income potential that go along with them — are being dangled to colleagues. It’s not an easy thing when one’s nomination papers — to run as a Liberal in the next election — haven’t been signed.
And it is not an easy thing when there is no obvious plan B.
