Yes a lot of us see Iggy as a somewhat more moderate "conservative lite" federal leader passing as a Liberal but that's because we had our eyes opened when the last conservative bunch shanghaied a Liberal party.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194048667127641916.post-7332000176781135192010-09-24T13:03:36.434-04:002010-09-24T13:03:36.434-04:00Out here on the Left Coast it doesn't really m...Out here on the Left Coast it doesn't really matter much what a party calls itself. We have "this bunch" and "the other bunch." Fact is we rarely like either of them. We don't really get a chance to vote "for" things so we routinely vote "against" whatever option we like least.<br /><br />And so this most magnificent of provinces staggers like a drunken sailor, first right then left then right again.<br /><br />I think the last premier who was genuinely liked or at least widely respected was the NDP's Mike Harcourt who was such a nice guy that he got stabbed in the back by his successor, the ever sleazy Glen Clark.<br /><br />Sadly, British Columbia pays a hefty price by these swings from far right to far left. When the Libs were reborn under Wilson we rejoiced in the prospect of a middle option of sober, progressive moderation. Then the SoCreds, their ship sinking, boarded the Liberal boat and simply took it over as their own. They didn't care what it was called so long as it returned the party of business to power.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
