I tried to resist
I've been reading this thread, and I find it sadly amusing that there is so much disatisfaction with the PC government, yet they still manage to get 63 or so seats with almost no campiagning and certaintly no paltform. The saddest thing of is the bad thinking that goes into voting in this province, and a few people have mentioned it here either because they did it, or noticed it (I will not mention names).
Specifically, what I am talking about, is blindly voting for a candidate because he is the likely winner. How many people voted for their PC candidate without even asking him/her what they stood for, or had planned, or accomplished in the past 4 years? Geez.
If you asked your PC MLA what he stood for, and you liked the answer, or if you genuinely think that they are good government, then vote that way. If you have doubts, vote for someone else.
Christ, it's so depressing to see people sleep walk into and out of the polling stations, many of them knowing that this government will do some really bad things this term, liek privatize our health care, and with morons like Oberg, Mar, and Cenaiko in the new cabinet, expect a new low in dicision-maing stupidity this term.
what a shame.
