Just taking issue w/ CKNW headline on story of Kevin Falcon vs. Christy Clark's policy differences...
Let me be clear: This is NOT infighting.
This is NOT dropping the N-bomb or throwing caucus under the bus or being Anklebiterott and saying "not credible", "no real plan" about another candidate - now that is infighting, this is two honourable people having honest disagreements. Sadly only one can win...
This IS what leadership campaigns are all about. Clearly MLA Falcon wants caucus to decide who and when drops the writ... Christy Clark understands that she doesn't want to be the next Ujjal Dosanjh or Ernie Eves and overstay an acute honeymoon as an unelected premier. Now, this means invalidating 85 (eighty-five) elections... but the public sees it as 1 (one).
She's right: "I am not going to wait until the very last minute before I take the time to go out and ask British Columbians if it's okay for them to have a new Premier." Good for her.
Expect if she wins, writ-drop in September synchronous w/ Ontario. BCNDP will have new leader, hopefully Dix but likely Farnworth, as well.
