Last 4 elected premiers in BC, all ended up resigning rather than get beat in the next election when their popularity was beaten down. Vanderzalm, Harcourt, and Glen Clark all resigned before dropping the writ. Although the NDP probably made the most improbable comeback in history when Glen Clark took over from Harcourt after the Bingo scandle and basically stole a sure thing from Campbells Liberals.
Who's in line to become the next leader of the BC Liberals anyways?
