When one makes the proverbial "Hail Mary" pass, there should at least be a clear assumption of who that pass is aimed at and that they'll be in place to receive it.  Here the BC Liberals (and more particularly Premier Christy Clark) appear to have closed their eyes, turned around a few times and tossed the ball God knows where.

It follows that a wide array of motives are attributed to Clark in this matter by pundits but few believe that things will end well for the BC Liberals over the next weeks or months.

The old joke stereotyping the cynicism of politicians applies.  Christy Clark is a person with principles (and if you don't like her recent set of principles, then she several different sets she'd like you to choose from).
