The issue was a bit tricky to fully understand. Was Emerson appointed minister before or after switching from the Liberals to the Convservatives? Does it matter?
There are two issues here:
- appointment of a person to cabinet
- the infectious floor-crossing
There is no rule that dictates that the PM must choose cabinet from currently elected MPs, or MPs from his own party. The PM is actually free to choose to appoint to cabinet whomever the PM desires. Read about it in this wiki article.
The floor-crossing of Emerson is at best disgusting.
The appointment of a Liberal to a Conservative cabinet is at best bizarre.
Democracy dictates that Emerson should have remained a Liberal, but still be admitted to cabinet.
I have no issue with the PM appointing anyone, but I do have issue with liars. Emerson is a liar.
