I don't follow BC politics closely but how far to the right is she? I knew she had connections to former Harper strategists etc but apparently she was at the Manning conference in Ottawa.

BC Liberals are to the right of Harper on a lot of issues.

I'm not sure about that, but they have really ticked off the voter. Bringing in the HST the way they did, and under the false pretense that it would be revenue neutral, has probably sealed their fate. Enough of the middle and right are turning to the provincial Conservative party to give the NDP a win come the next election, in 2013. Their heavy handed approach to the education and medical systems got old about 5 years ago.

Welcome truth custom-made, come in and have some lemonade

Reality will re-adjust while we evade...

Not sure if you are offended because I called the BC Liberals super Conservative

or........

If you are offended because you think my summation of the BC Liberals is saying Harper isn't the most Conservative in the country.

The BC NDP is the most left-wing NDP in Canada
The BC Liberals are the most right-wing Liberals in Canada
And the BC Conservatives are the most right-wing Conservatives in Canada

These are facts that can be backed up, not though silly conspiracy links, not even though the MSM, but though reading their very own platforms.

PEI's NDP is the most left wing because they have nothing to win.

You are wrong again. The socialist Caucus is quite prominent within the NDP rank and file.

Are you referring to the island? Zing!

Yeah I knew she had connections with the federal party that is why I'm a little confused with this Manning thing.
