Because I realize that this is normal politics, and it happens all of the time.
Yes it is normal, & yes it happens all the time. But it shouldn't. It almost always happens behind closed doors, & people with power usually get away with it. Harper became arrogant & foolish & his bullying politics came out in the open & the government lost an election over it.
A PM will punish an MP for not falling in line as they often do, & the MP/Minister will usually STFU & take it. More often instead the Minister will bow to the PM's will because they want to kiss their boss' ass & care more about their career than their ethics. At least from what I've seen so far, JWR cared more about her ethics than her career, & risked being removed from her post for doing her job, & when she was removed she didn't just STFU & take it, she stood up for herself & blew the whistle & has brought the PMO to its knees. They messed with the wrong person, she is one tough SOB.
Let's see what Butts has to say & reserve final judgement.
