But there was no objection from the Alliance side, and Lynch-Staunton, the official opposition leader in the Senate, ultimately took it as a compliment and a good sign for the merger.
"The fact that a Tory is there at this stage is, I think, indicative that so far it's a merger of equals and not a takeover of one by the other," he said.
Lynch-Staunton said recalcitrant Tories, such as former leader Joe Clark and Nova Scotia MP Scott Brison, who yesterday jumped to the Liberals, aren't giving the new party a fair chance.

This Tory side comes from our forefathers, who were loyalists and who developed (under the guidance of Britain and with their 'feudalist' partners from French Canada) the model of our Federal State.
Whereas, a Red Tory represents the Left wing of the conservative party, the Blue Tory is the right wing.
Some diehard Progressive Conservatives (from the old skool) see this Red Tory, "at the very highest level, [...] as a philosopher who combines elements of socialism and toryism so thoroughly [...] this it is impossible to say that he is a proponent of either one as against the other;" a balanced politician.

That was why the Lib Dems (and the Tories, for a while), seized on allegations last weekend that Mr Blair had considered war with Iraq before having any rationale for the action.

Of the 33 seats that Labour lost to the Tories around half were due to voters switching back to the Liberal Democrats.

 Canadian Dimension / Articles / Talkin’ Harper Cabinet Blues (Andrea Levy)
Dubbed “Two-Tier Tony” during his stint as Ontario’s health minister under Harris and then Ernie Eves, Clement boasts a perfect New Blue Tory pedigree: although not regarded as an arch social conservative, he was one of the chief architects of Harris’ so-called Common Sense Revolution.
As federal health minister, Clement, an avowed admirer of Margaret Thatcher, will be in charge of delivering on the Tory “wait-time guarantee” promise, which has been criticized as a ploy to use the unacceptable delays in health-care service provision engendered by excessive cuts in health-care spending to promote privatization.
While the Tories claim to support the Charter, many also harbour the belief that it is a tool of judicial activism used by radical judges to subvert traditional values.
