Well, well!!! We might have a buddy Liberal MP here?

Most students I knew started off radical lefties and moved to the right as
they grew older!!!

Never heard of the other way though.

In my case I started off a leftie but I must have missed the train to the

Then again I wasn't much of a student anyway<g>.
