He was politically the same as Ralph Kline...
80%+ approval ratings no matter what he did..
I like what he did for NL. Unlike alot of politicians, who are driven by the next election or thier "future"... Danny Williams , didn't need the money and wasn't concearned what anyone in the Federal government thought of him.
He was serving the public as an elected official who said it they way it was and if you like it great if not too bad cause he was gonna change it anyway.
The whole "anyone but conservative" was so strange to people because he was a conservative who was telling people not to vote for the federal version of his party. He did it cause the federal conservatives were pushing a policy that he felt shortchanged the people of his province and did what he could to stop it ignoring partisan politics..
He did things that I didn't agree with but i know he had what was right for the province in mind.. That's all you can ask for.
