text: At present the Liberals are leaderless and would have a difficult time forming an effective government even if that opportunity had presented itself.  With Dr. Plecas in the Speakers chair, it seems likely that the NDP will govern with the support of the Greens for four years.  
  
  Will the NDP continue to govern with the hubris of smug self-righteousness ideologues just like they have in the past? 
  
  Probably.  Four years of NDP damage - like cancelling major projects across BC, taking on 3 or 4 billion debt by assuming the costs of bridges that now have no tolls - as they have done in only 3 months, will be enough to convince the voters that the NDP are a recipe for economic disaster.
  
  At least they now have sufficient rope to hang themselves.
