Blame for the present situation can be laid squarely and solely at the feet of the Socreds, er, I mean BC Liberals.  They long ago abandoned governing in favour of promoting the self interest of their wealthy insiders and then proceeded to push it the point that it became malodorous and insufferable for many people.

Every government since the concept was invented has had insiders, lobbyists, sycophants, etc. but this one (and the PCs in Alberta) just couldn't bring themselves to hold it down to a tolerable level, and they're gone.

No surprises from the NDP in all of this but I am tremendously disappointed in Andres Weaver and the Greens for their collaboration.
