Good morning,
Effective immediately, I will be on a three-day leave of absence.
While my cultural and business work in the region has been a success, my involvement in party politics has not. Earlier today, I submitted my resignation to the Co-operative Party over disagreements with party leadership. Whatever the skills and temperament are to succeed in the rough-and-tumble world of regional politics, which certain others have in droves, I do not have.
It is my intention to sit for the remainder of my parliamentary term as an MP, providing my honest thoughts on bills irrespective of the proposer's party affiliation as I have always done. While plans may change, at this time, I have no intention to seek re-election. I will be focusing on other work that I enjoy and which, I might add, is considerably less stressful.
Most importantly, all of this has happened at rather an unlucky time. Some health problems, which run in my family, have sprung up for me this week and stress is not something I can afford as I may be headed for major surgery and a long, painful recovery in the near future.
I wish to thank the many people who have messaged me their support and stood by me. I will see them, and all of you, upon my return.
Yours,
Lily
