Look up those rules you're citing. You'll find that it's Cristy who is bending them. 44-43 is a majority. It is uncommon but precedented for a speaker to settle ties and support the government. It is the custom to exit more gracefully and allow the majority enough breathing room to form a government. Instead she is fighting tooth and nail for technicalities at the expense the voters of this province. She claims she is acting as a leader but acts as the opposite. And for what? To score futile points against here political opponents? She has no future with the party. She should at least give them the room to make their own mistakes. She is extremely undemocratic. Cooperation is the essence of democracy. We respect the vote and allow the other side to take its turn when we lose. 20 years of the BCLiberal Party, she had her chance. Step aside already!
