The PCs can't remove Redford.

What will they say to the electorate:

"We removed Ralph and chose Ed, but we got that wrong so we removed him and brought in Alison, and we got that wrong so PLEEEEEEEASE trust us this time, we got it right?"

This would be the THIRD removal of a premier since 2006. Redford knows this and knows her party won't dump her.

They also have emptied the donor wallets with the perpetual (or so it seems) leadership races and then the actual elections.

The PC supporters who are propping up this government better start calling in their IOUs because they are going to be worthless in 2 years.

(Of course, the more they do call in the IOU, the more it plays to the opposition calling out patronage; yet the more the PCs don't honour them, the more it drives their own supporters away)


Back to question period, the Herald and the Sun are both reporting the shocking lack of rebuke from the PC caucus towards the opposition drilling Redford. No shouting back, limp desk pounding (at best) when Redford speaks to defend herself.
