      XPost: can.politics       From: none@present.com              1) The movers: All the defeated incumbents have to clear out, but many of       the MPPs who held on to their seats will be moving up to a better office       (mainly PCs, but including Horwath and her leadership team), or down to a       worse office (all the Liberals).              2) The next Speaker and the parliamentary staff: About 60% of the members       are new to Queen's Park ... a few have previously served in Ottawa, but       that's a large number of people who've never dealt with parliamentary       procedures before.              3) Staff of former MPPs: When the people fire your boss, you get laid off       too, and if it's anything like Ottawa, pathways into the regular public       service are limited.              4) Anyone who had an issue that their MPP was looking into for them: Not       only is there a good chance your MPP has been replaced, but the traditional       hand-off will be complicated by redistribution.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
