BC NDP Looking Like Toast Right About Now...

It's really horrible when this sort of thing happens to further raise public mistrust of anything political.

This is all going to fall firmly into the laps of the BC Liberals... The NDP in BC needed a purge anyways. Looks like it'll happen now.

At this point, it is all still being investigated, but the image of a sitting MLA stapling $10 bills to blank membership forms is not a pretty one...

Things like this have happened in all parties from time to time. More so in some. It generally happens during hotly disputed leadership contests, or tough riding nominations. It just doesn't usually get onto video, then national (soon) airplay...

Oh well - good day to be a Liberal in BC. And to any disgruntled NDP supporters out there: You are welcome in our party. Might do some good to expand the tent out into that direction a little. You still have a few days left to buy Liberal memberships and help a more moderate candidate win...

Not that I'm a dipper but did you not see the Liberal's self-inflicted wound this week when Kash Heed was implicated in paying for his (allegedly) illegal campaign flyers with taxpayer monies?

I'll believe the Heed allegations when I see video... Modern tech - right down to grainy mobile phone vids are just so damning...

Also, the Heed situation is quite a bit different from your explanation, and involved campaign staff. Very often the candidate has no clue about this type of stuff because they're out on the doorstep. I'd be more concerned about the welfare of Mr. Heed's campaign manager and campaign accountant - if there is any credence to these allegations at all...
