Their job as opposition is to hold the government to account and present a coherent alternative governing strategy. How does theatrically walking out of the legislature fulfill either of these jobs?
I'd be pretty disappointed with my kids if they pulled a Wildrose-like stunt. When things don't go your way, you don't throw a tantrum and pick up your ball and go home. You persist and rise above.

So you believe they should hold the government accountable, but not when it comes to other parties lying to the Legislature???
Zwozdesky's final ruling came down to semantics. He said the Premier made "a" decision, but not "the" decision.
He could have stated his ruling at the beginnning of QP, clearly he had it prepared; yet he used the time to squash Wildrose questions, but not NDP or Liberal ones.
Lastly, the Premier has been absent 80% of the time this session - Are you equally disappointed in that? In my mind stepping out of the Legislature for 15 minutes to make a point is far more acceptable than not showing up at all.
