Political effectiveness

Apparently Justin Trudeau has made the bold and daring move of removing Liberal Senators from the Liberal Party Caucus. The net effect of this seems a bit nebulous at the moment as by the end of the day they had declared that these newly minted Independent Senators would continue to support Justin and the Liberal Party, keep their affiliations within the Senate, and moved to ensure that they were still the Official Opposition in the Senate ensuring their continued bonus monies.

James Cowan, who had been the party's leader in the Senate, says the formerly Liberal senators will continue to support Trudeau and call themselves the Senate Liberal caucus.
...
"I think not a lot will change. I think that there is a perception perhaps that senators in our party and in the other party are under the control of folks on the other side. That's not been the case in our side. We obviously talk, consult with them and we have had the privilege of being part of their caucus up to now. We won't have that anymore. But we'll continue to talk to them and I suspect that not a great deal will change."

And my personal favorite was a tweet from Liberal Independent Senator, Mobina Jaffer:

"Mood upbeat in Liberal Senate caucus. Now we will serve Canadians more effectively," Mobina Jaffer said on Twitter.

So am I to understand that removing Senators from a political party somehow makes them more effective politicians? Or to put it another way, being a member of a political party makes one a less effective politician.

Good to know.
