You would like the Speaker to vote as a partisan pawn to amend BC's Constitution in order to give power to a coalition that wouldn't otherwise have it? Big shocker from a stated position of unbiased objective reason... tell us how you really feel. If the NDP wants a mandate to govern, let the voters decide - the fact is they do not have a mandate under the current system and changing the rules in an effort to hold power when they otherwise wouldn't is a disgrace to the people of BC. What is the NDP afraid of? If they want a mandate to govern, let the voters decide. Changing BC's constitution in an effort to take control of the province is something that happens in Venezuela, not Canada. You should have more self-respect, just imagine the screams of bloody murder if the Liberals were to try the same thing - this is a non-partisan issue. Let the voters decide. Again, what are you afraid of? If they want an NDP government, let them have it. But not like this.
