| | This development interests me because Desjarlais was rejected by her party (and my old party) because of her stance on same-sex marriage. | | | This development does not interest me because Ashton’s father, Steve, is a cabinet minister in the Manitoba NDP government of Gary Doer. | | | On October 18, the day after the nomination meeting, Desjarlais resigned from the NDP caucus and now sits as an Independent. |

| | Rational Reasons: Obligatory Bev Desjarlais Post |
| | The speculation Bev would lose her nomination was rampant the day she voted against SSM. | | | Again, I'm not sure why they chose not to nominate her, but given that, I understand somewhat her decision to sit as an independant and to run as one in the next election. | | | Bev herself seems to think it had something to do with the Same Sex Marriage controversy, in which Bev, against party discipline and contrary to a signed promise she made when she was last nominated (to either support the SSM bill or abstain), voted against the same sex marriage bill. |

It's also important to note, he says, that the motion is symbolic and has no bearing on existing law, and that all three MPs also supported an earlier motion of Robinson's backing spousal benefits for gay and lesbian couples. | | | In voting for the Reform motion, Robinson says Nelson Riis, John Solomon and Bev Desjarlais ignored a party policy reaffirming "equality for gay and lesbian relationships."
