I read Clark's remarks.  She implies that in declining to take her advice, the Lieutenant Governor failed to "prevent the dilution of our democracy."  That is an outrageous smear.  As Clark of all people should know, it is the duty of the LG to appoint as premier the party leader she judges to be in the best position to command the confidence of the Legislature.  The LG did her duty in accordance with the conventions of our parliamentary system of government.  Clark owes the LG an apology for making such disparaging remarks and for trying to bring the office of LG into disrepute.
