Surprise Surprise

Is anyone surprised the NDP took the two bi-elections, the individuals who voted for Gordon Campbell and his band of jolly yes men continue to make excuses and support them no matter what they did to this province BC and it’s people. Instead of holding their so called Liberals feet to the fire to keep them honest, people like Tom Fletcher and Cherryl Katnich and many others constantly support and reward bad behaviour, malfeasance, and outright criminal behaviour such as BC Rail and yes outright stupidity with the cynical rational that all politicians are the same, the NDP would just be worse. 
Is it any wonder that our political system has deteriorated to this sorry level. 

If everybody just looked at right and wrong, good and bad, legal illegal, ethical unethical, rational un-rational and saw to it that their representatives were held accountable for their actions no matter what brand they ran under we wouldn’t be in this situation. 

I am a disenfranchised centerist who has been pushed to centre left and if I get my wish and we vote in an NDP government I can assure you I will not just stand back and let them run roughshod over me or my rights any more than I do the so called Liberals. 

No matter who is in power the voters have a civic duty to keep their government on the straight and narrow or you get things like we have seen in the last decade such as the totally unethical way the HST was brought in BC Rail Con and the subsequent coverup, selling off of Provincial assets for pennies on the dollar to fat cat friends, no more 253 days with the legislature not in session, can you believe it 253 days with no input from the opposition or for that matter most of BCLiberal MLAs and consequently of coarse the voters of BC,   no more sweetheart deals with unelected CEOs in dark secret rooms, deals that involve every person in this province for decades to come, some might even be irreversible or extremely costly to rectify.  

That is the difference between a left centrist, centrist, right centrist, what I like to call rational people we at least can give credit were credit is due, I have actually written letters congratulating Gordon Campbell for doing something right, BC Lieberals (Conservatives) on the other hand have fixed right-wing tunnel vision. Ya like medicare, pensions, and many other NDP ideas were bad things.

I would bet no matter how disgusted most Conservatives are, they will undoubtedly hold their noses and vote the same useless yes man they have always done and probably just like their dad did before them, not that they are bright enough to realize the Conservatives of today are not the Conservatives their dad voted for.

P.S. Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.
