Again we will see an election where people will vote to not have somebody in. Nobody wants Clarke but the same people probably don't want the NDP either. It's a messed up place at the moment.

Something else that's kind of flying under the radar right now is the aging provincial public service. I think the average age in the public service right now is around 46-47, which excludes management and executives. The Liberals have kind of squeezed all they can through attrition and cutbacks over the years that now there's a concern about the lack of succession planning, knowledge retention, and qualified public servants as the 55+ crowd continues to retire over the next 5-10 years.
