The odd floor-crossing is one thing, but on this scale it undermines our system of government

Seeking to explain just where the Liberals draw the line on accepting members of other parties into their midst, House Leader Steven MacKinnon said the party would “keep a light on and a door open for all of those who want to support Liberal Party principles,” which he described as “immutable.”

And of course, he’s right. Liberal policies may come and go – see carbon pricing, immigration, defence spending, from a long list – but Liberal principles are as constant as the North Star. There’s only one. It is this: whatever it takes. Whatever it takes to get and stay in power. What. Ever.
