I can see the argument against the PC's, but the Wildrose had every single member vote against this on the basis that it's 'redundant'. Frankly speaking, if it's redundant that's all the more reason to be in favour because you aren't making a major change! The Wildrose could've passed this motion though. Instead they are hiding behind lame excuses to say it was unnecessary and one MLA told me he was worried about the potential precedence... which is amusing because if it's redundant than surely the precedence was already set. It's a giant cop-out and failure to act.
It does make me laugh that the Wildrose supporters have trotted out the 'well some PC's voted against it to' line. Great. So one week they're a train wreck and can't be trusted to do anything right, and the week later they justify your votes? Even so, because they are ignorant and wrong, that makes it OK for them to act that way? It's just so disgraceful.
The other reason to note The Wildrose position here is because we all know that in 2016 all we are going to hear is how moderate and progressive they are. How they learned from their past mistakes and cleaned up their act. Clearly they didn't and it hasn't happened.
