It’s rather odd how Premier Christy Clark, who is not a member of the legislature, can shuffle around democratically elected Liberal cabinet members.
If the BC Liberal party regulations make it possible to select a premier from outside the legislature, surely they should pay the substantial costs of having to hold a byelection to get her into the legislature.
Also, the media reported NDP regulations required their new leader to be a female. Politicians call this “equal opportunity,” when it in reality it’s blatant sex discrimination. Somehow this could turn out to be another waste of taxpayers’ money, as all their leadership candidates are male.
I guess if they make the rules they can also ignore them.
Politicians and their fellow travellers are public servants, but it sure doesn’t seem like it.
I would not like to dent their egos, but many of us would vote for a pumpkin as long as that pumpkin belonged to our party of choice.
