I think he's a brutal person, who was a total hypocrite. Deficits are illegal....than he changes it. I can drink and drive, but will make the penalties in BC uber stiff, and give the Police way too much power to enforce traffic laws. He more or less lived this long as BC Premier because he wasn't the NDP. He dropped the ball against the NDP in the 1996 election and should have been ousted than as leader of the BC Liberals. He should have been forced out after the Drinking and Driving in Hawaii, but somehow survived. His party overall did do decent things for the province, but in my opinion he's always been a terrible leader.

This is just a political ploy for the Liberals to get a new face in so that the NDP can't run a we're not Gordon Campbell campaign, and the Liberals can keep up their we're not the NDP mantra. Which wouldn't be so bad for BC because the last thing they need is to go back to the NDP.
