Congrats, you got the call! Whether you are an experienced parliamentarian or part of the new wave of government MPs, being asked by the PM to sit in cabinet is a transformational experience in the life of a politician. Your success or failure is dependent on much more than just your intelligence, wit and talents. Here are a few things to consider as you prepare to walk into Rideau Hall on November 4th:
You are one of a select club of thirty or so cabinet ministers, but there are another 150 members of the Liberal caucus who are not in cabinet and probably a majority of them would have liked to be in your place. You are still a member of caucus, and these other Liberals are still your colleagues.
