Oddities spotted in the political news - robkelk - 01-05-2024
CBC News: Liberals pick byelection candidate who first tried running for Tories
Rough equivalent for folks in the USA:
Candidate: "I love the GOP platform! Can I be on the GOP candidate list in the primaries?"
Party brass: "Nope, you didn't get your paperwork in on time."
Candidate: "Oh. I don't love the GOP platform any more! Can I be on the Dem candidate list in the primaries?"
Other party brass: "Sure! Oh, and the party members picked you."
Yeah. That's pretty much what just happened in Durham for the upcoming byelection.

Republican fraud, hopefully. They accuse far too much with no evidence presented to not be projecting t heir own intentions.
