Many of Redford’s ministers and MLAs are deeply unhappy, to the point where a few have apparently mused about leaving the Progressive Conservative fold to sit as independents.

Some in government and the PC party also speculate privately that Redford’s time as premier might be coming to an end.

One senior Tory said Wednesday, asking not to be named, “we’re doing a lot of great stuff here, and nobody knows or cares because of all this crap. It can’t go on like this.”

But a consensus is forming that if Redford doesn’t soon boost her approval rating well above the current 20 per cent, and her party’s above 25, she won’t lead the Progressive Conservatives into the next election in 2016.
