Paul Davis
wants to lead the P.C. Party into the next general election. Any sensible
person would have to ask: why him? Surely, there are better choices.
Davis told
the Telegram: “I never had a lot of time in the premier’s office… there were
some ideas and vision and focus that I never had a chance to do.” Interesting.
I don’t think anyone does vision and focus. These are attributes
used to help shape a larger plan.
Davis was
given the boot in the General Election last year.
Still, it is
almost impossible to clear the mind of the amateurish missteps with which Davis
greeted the public as he left the Lieutenant- Governor’s residence. The appointment of an unelected Minister,
unfamiliar with both political convention and the requirement to seek election, still
resounds.
Then there is the Department of Justice fiasco — dropping "Justice" in favour of "Public Safety" — which confirmed that he understood enforcement but not habeas corpus.
