Some of her supporters were consoled by the fact that she hasn’t closed the door on a re-entry into politics, saying she wasn’t coming back ‘for now’
Former British Columbia premier Christy Clark has decided not to run for the Conservative leadership after seriously weighing up a bid.
Clark’s supporters looked at a slate of candidates that may have included Ambrose, Ottawa-area MP Pierre Poilievre and former Progressive Conservative Party leader Jean Charest and concluded that there was no clear path to victory. Before long, though, all three had either withdrawn from the race or declined to run.
Some of Clark’s supporters were consoled by the fact that, privately, she hasn’t closed the door on a future re-entry into politics, saying she wasn’t coming back “for now.” Patricia Best, a former Harper staffer who has been a long-time admirer of Clark, said it would have been “really motivating” for party members to have a female front-runner in the race.
“She can also work well with people whose views she doesn’t necessarily agree with at all and we need more of that,” said Best.
