EDITORIAL – British Columbians just couldn’t decide what they wanted
An Armchair Mayor editorial by Mel Rothenburger.
TIME for a change?
To listen to all three party leaders, you’d think that’s what British Columbians voted for.
The NDP’s John Horgan and the Greens’ Andrew Weaver stuck to their well-worn campaign rhetoric in their speeches to party supporters last night — Horgan saying people voted for “a new government” and Weaver saying they “delivered change.”
Even Christy Clark talked about doing things differently.
OK. So what is it that British Columbians want done differently? Seems to me, they couldn’t decide at all.

I think you’re right Mel,
I hope they will all adapt and learn to share the sandbox through effective negotiations or coalition to pass legislation … but I fear none of them will be able to let go of historic attitudes, and we will return to the ballot box before the year is up.

This is what happens when people do not give any thought to how they are going to vote. They wanted change, but couldn’t see that voting for the Greens would keep things as they are.
