| Carole James and her BC NDP party have an odd political problem in the midst of their daffodils and suntan oil. Their numbers in popular support rise a little, but this support over BC’s new disaster party= BC Liberal party-whose leader Gordon Campbell has already taken them beyond the point of no return--and would on it’s face seem like a delightful situation to be in--does not /however/ permit their own numbers to attain (50%) plus one percent. The rest of the distance is mojo -- not everyone has it. |
| Gordon Campbell had it easy--the time of his life--it’s too late--the Tide is High. |
| The early betting is on an electoral format change wherein: Any candidate in a lawful B.C. riding during a general provincial election with the highest numbers of votes in a provincial election who does not achieve (35%) of the total vote in that election -- will trigger the election of the candidate with the second highest number of votes -- no matter what the second place candidates voting totals are. Let a low first and second place rival go at it.Keep your political leaders hungry and look to supersede political events in the mother country--Britain with smart -- sweet -- politics. |
| The mayor of Prince George Dan Rogers and his brother and sisters went to school with me---at Reynolds Senior Secondary--his sister Linda (wonderful person) was my girlfriend. What is old becomes New. The Rogers were the neighbours of NDP John Horgan and his family. |
| The concern--because of hatred (press asks -- “Is it really hatred and anger?”--if a family member tells a big lie that hurts the others--that can result in swift condemnation of that family member)--why would people care what degree of the anger or hatred about Campbell is?--Think about it? |
| --against government and the advancing success of the Fight HST Petition--and Campbell’s reluctance or inability to get off his party planet catapulting toward the Sun--is that the entire political industry -- from government -- courts -- could unravel or implode--simply because no-one in government --et al (hereinafter the “political system”)-- including but particularly the premier of the province--Gordon Campbell-- do NOT “get it”. “Get it” is a manifestation of stunning denial that cuts across ever sector of the establishment including the regular media---the existing vacuum in the media--could bode well for a new beginning--politics--/but the opportunity to bounce back is fast shrinking. |
| It’s weeks not months. |
| This theory-- is supported by (58%) of Decided respondents/voters who accept the response choice that essentially “Anything goes” if the Fight HST Petition is successful--who essentially want Campbell to “Follow the law“--/(I am certain you can imagine how this question (2) was interpreted in respondent commentary relative to the premier’s criminal conviction for impaired driving). |
| There is no point to bide for more delays-it hurts the province--look be a man about it. |
| an ACT of THE Citizenry---we need some new music -- everything-- this is simply not good enough--It’s day at a time sonny. |
| Carole James must show she can move across the aisle -- and although these BC NDP numbers -- and lead over BC Liberals and BC Conservatives --is immense--James essentially still preaches to the converted (and many who are not)--she hasn’t cracked (50%) when she ought to have. |
| Each day Campbell stays on is -- in part -- the fault of Carole James. |
| A majority of British Columbians are unwilling to wait a year for Campbell to go---suggesting “If he cares about the province at all -- he should -- he’s done well personally--‘he should go now’. The consensus among B.C. voters is that -- after regular people grinding through an economic downturn -- cut backs -- suffering -- that “a liar” could “lie again so easily” and “doesn’t care enough about the province to do the right thing and step down.” |
| ---Smart young politician Helena beats Harper 2/1--to those willing to care. |
| Former Reformers--Canadian Alliance--cry and rattle the cage--until they get the chequebook--turn out to be the same creeps as Liberals--proof that power corrupts. |
| British Columbians are coming out toward the new horizon--expectations of economic recovery--positive ventures---and the premier is like a man who stalks an old girlfriend and can’t take “good by“--the negative sentiment supported by numbers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars -- with former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm suggesting signatures on his Fight HST campaign may total 500,000 by the end of May -2010--is producing “good riddance” over ‘good --bye’. |
| “Dear--I’d like to sign that HST Petition but I’m not sure to go--imagine how the Fight HST campaign might be doing with a million dollar donation? |
| The nightmare Gulf Oil spill -- is obviously igniting new interest in the Green label - and has everyone--worried about the same thing happening here in B.C. The reason the BC Greens have doubled their totals -- is obviously directed related to this oil spill. |
| Show is over Boys. |
| Chris Delaney and BC Conservatives (Delaney is not actually the leader of the BC Conservative party---he is valid to include in all political polls from a standpoint of political science) -- is moving in on Gordon Campbell and BC Liberal support totals--as BC Liberal support tumbles in every region of the province--and either BC Conservatives and (surprise) BC NDP challenge in the former BC Liberal stronghold in the Fraser Valley. BC Liberals actually do better (relatively speaking) on Vancouver Island-- |
| where a bottom apparently may just be a bottom--how did Richard Stewart ‘get’ to become mayor (Coquitlam) -- and head of the BC Parents Advisory for the same region.
They’ve got you on TV now ass grabber---he’s your pedophile now. |
| None of the replacements in or out of BC Liberal caucus has a big enough shadow to stop this-- bleeding--the imagery in my mind--looking at the numbers is/a Monty Python skit on either/or bleeding profusely or vomiting ad nauseam. It’s like Gordon Campbell himself is on fire -- and the names--- Carole Taylor, Christy Clarke, Savoy Brown-of those who might replace him don’t want to save him--because they will burn too. Here is the problem for Carole Taylor and Christy Clarke--if they don’t say something NOW--it will prejudice any campaign later--the next leader of the BC Liberals will be the one who cuts off Campbell’s head. |
| I knew this would come to no good back in 1996. Glen Robbins is like a Martyn Brown--save Glen is bejeweled--a lustrous collection in the multi-millions of dollars---and packing just a little extra scope--for a fresh ‘mintier’ taste in politics. |
| Now that dude is Machiavelli--2010. |
| “Anything goes” produced a myriad of additional comments from respondents -- who are emphatic about how “anything” (“Anything goes”) might be interpreted -- while ‘some’ others -- stipulate things like no “Violence“--most were “Not sure“-but made this response selection anyhow -- even if just to get off the question. I expect the Undecided in this question are leaning “Anything goes” and may not like the implications of that “latitude”/ but the term “Democratic Freedom Fighters” -- follow the Fight in Fight HST== and its gobbled up pretty easily. |
| If the rumour in Coquitlam are true--we have another disaster on our hands in Coquitlam---far-----------far worse than the Hated Sales Tax. Potentially--hundreds of little children --hoping to be safe-- not violated and defiled. |
| ZEUS --1,215 BC voters moe 3.0% up and down. |
