Barring a
catastrophe, the Liberals will win a landslide victory on November 30th.
It would be a
fine tribute to “Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition” if this outcome could be
attributed to their advocacy of good governance. Sadly, no such claim can be made.
Could that be
why a review of the “Red Book’s” contents reveals few ideas for how the
Liberals might run the processes of government better than did the Tories?
Ball may
bristle at suggestions the Tories are the sole authors of their demise; but the
facts don’t help him much.
Ed Hollett’s
Blog, The Sir Robert Bond Papers, recently offered an excellent review of Tory
blunders. I suggest the seeds of public discontent predate even his enumeration
of what brought them down.
It is good
to remember that Premier Dunderdale’s banishment culminated with her stumbles
during DARKNL. They did not begin there. The removal of the PUB from the
Muskrat Falls review, Bill 29, and her own incoherent logic, won her no
friends.
