ICYMI: ANDY WALKER: Bell's decision to retire a surprise | SaltWire
The decision by Hannah Bell to draw a line under her career as Charlottetown-Belvedere MLA when voters go to the polls later this year certainly must fall into the category of a surprise, writes political commentator Andy Walker. - Stu Neatby/SaltWire Network fileThe decision by Hannah Bell to draw a line under her career as Charlottetown-Belvedere MLA when voters go to the polls later this year certainly must fall into the category of a surprise.
Every MLA faces those pressures. The fact that Bell is a single mom makes that juggling act even harder. Her decision not to reoffer will make the job of the P.E.I. Coalition for Women in Government to attract more females to run for office at all levels that much harder. I don't mean to suggest for a minute that the male MLAs are not doing an effective job representing their constituents. No MLA lived in a vacuum before obtaining office and they all bring their perspectives and life experiences to the job. The goal should be to have as many perspectives as possible.
