I remember John Crosby (one-time Liberal) sitting as a Progressive-Conservative, then later taking a run for the party leadership against Brian Mulroney in in 1980-81 after Joe Clark resigned the first time (Crosby came in 3rd). It's not unheard of and not impossible, but it is an uphill battle. I really thought Stronach would not win her seat as a Liberal this time around, but she proved me wrong. Perhaps I'm just as wrong about her leadership chances.
Considering the anger concerning the Gomery Inquiry etc., I'm surprised the Liberals won as many seats as they did, and that the BQ actually lost three. Didn't see that coming.
