Carole James steps down as B.C.'s NDP leader

They got her: NDP dissidents bring down Carole James

Good for the NDP, she just wasn't viable.

The problem is how are they going to go with now? James was trying to make the party more business friendly, which was a good idea. But, just as with Harcourt, the party left wing nutbars forced her out. If they now put one of those people in, we won't have a viable opposition or even government to prevent more years of neocon bullshit making us the province with the highest child poverty rate. I don't really see anybody who could unite the NDP.

And politics in BC get even more interesting...

If you don't live here, sure. Otherwise it's like that Chinese curse.

I do live in BC, and you're quite right.

Wow. Did NOT see that coming. Hats off to her for the courage to walk away. Let's see what teh party faithful do with it.

Agreed, Carol James comes off looking good while Kwan and her lackeys look like a bunch of self-serving, back-biting, shitiots.

I love BC politics!

I'm sure the NDP will do whatever the unions tell them.

Or their President.

Moe Sihota.



Who, when you think about it is owned by the unions.

Turnabout is fair play. We've had a guy in the pockets of the developers and business for 10 years, time to let the unions have their decade.

They've already had theirs.

Remember the 90's.

I'll only support a party that doesn't include Unions, Moe Sihota, Corporations or Gordo Campbell.

My choices may be limited but at least I won't have the anxiety factor of realising I helped elect a shill for slimey big business, or scuzzy unions.

Sorry NDP, Sorry Lieberals, no votes for you.
