Christy Clark should have resigned. Then the LG would have called upon an NDP-Green coalition to form a government. This business about the Speaker is a childish attempt to force a second election. A waste of taxpayer money.

Given that the Speaker is supposed to be a member who has to pretend NOT to want the job, I suggest Linda Reid be forced to take the chair. If the NDP-Greens agree to that, then the vote would be 44-43.

Then a vote of No Confidence can proceed and the selection of a new premier can follow. If Clark wants to advise the LG to call a new election, she can try that. But she ought to know that it could backfire.

Give PEACE a chance.
