But Clark had argued in recent days the legislature was "not a functional place" in its current configuration. She said an NDP government would be paralyzed because of the expected need for one of its own MLAs to serve as Speaker, thus creating continued 43-43 vote ties. It was an argument [Lt. Governor] Guichon ultimately decided to reject. Guichon will not be making any further comment on her decision beyond her statement. The provincial election on May 9 ended with the Liberals electing 43 MLAs, the NDP 41 and the Greens three, setting up the last seven weeks of political battles[/quote] For those not familiar with the BC general election this past April, the BC Liberal party is our conservative party as they are the rightmost party in our province. Since all eyes are on the UK election, consider our NDP an analog to the UK Labour party. I'm glad Christy Clark is out. She directly hurt the industry I work in.
And also I hope BC Green Party take more votes and seats from them and make BC NDP into new Major party at last is coming.
I'm glad Christy is out but time to see if we get another recession like what my parents said would happen.
And nobody is surprised at all.
My parents are teachers so yay.
Christy Clark has been staunchly opposed to marijuana decriminalization/etc. in the past... as the Premier of BC. While prohibition has indeed been the law up until now, talk about tone deafness. That's only one reason off the list of reasons Clark sucks. I'm glad I voted NDP, and I'll do it again.
Everyone is screaming about how the NDP will bankrupt this province again but I think they're fairly short sighted and not even recognizing the damage that Clark did. It's just partisan politics for all the people I know. They don't even talk about these issues, they just talk about the parties. It's fucked. I tried to explain the stupidity behind focusing on LNG so heavily, so late into the market that we're no longer really competitive or will be able to stay with the heavy hitters in that industry, and that's mostly what Clark focused on. It's ridiculous.
