Defeated NDP MP Ryan Cleary is writing a new page in the party-jumping books as he announces his intention to become a provincial Conservative in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Cleary was defeated last week in his riding St. John’s South-Mount Pearl and plans to seek the Tory nomination in Windsor Lake for the Nov. 30th provincial election.

Shortly after reports confirmed that Cleary would make this announcement at a golf course Friday afternoon, the Internet responded.

“Political Future” is now for sale on Kijiji which includes two dozen “slightly used” orange neckties.

“For sale: two dozen slightly used men’s neckties. All are orange in colour, some are tear-stained but otherwise in good condition. One was a gift from my former boss Tom, he used to be the next Prime Minister of Canada but you probably haven’t heard of him. The rest were gifts from my constituents so I never really valued them very much. One of the ties has a very tight noose in it that i cannot get undone, but don’t worry I did not go through with it on my own, I decided to do it publicly in the riding of Windsor Lake instead.”

“I take payment in cash or McDonald’s gift cards.”

“Inquiries can be made via twitter at @clearyNDP or @ClearyPC depending on when you reach out.”

A parody Twitter account, @clearyNDP, which appears to have been Cleary’s Twitter account before changing his handle to @Windsorswarrior, has also been poking fun at the former NDP MP for seeking Conservative candidacy.

Who says I can’t be a Tory? I need a job! I can run for whoever I want. It’s a free country. NDP. Tory. It’s all the same! #nlpoli — @ClearyNDP (@clearyndp) October 30, 2015

Newfoundland and Labrador native and CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes comedian Mark Critch, also weighed in on Twitter.

Ryan Cleary is in the Halloween spirit. This year he is going door to door dressed up like a PC. Good costume! #nlpoli — Mark Critch (@markcritch) October 30, 2015

If successful in securing the nomination, Cleary will face off against Liberal MHA Cathy Bennett in the election on November 30th.
