B.C. Green Leader Emily Lowan says Premier David Eby's threat of an early election if a bill to fast-track a multibillion-dollar northern power line fails is a "cheap trick" that would leave British Columbians "incredibly disgruntled" if it eventuates.
That’s a step in the right direction, but I think people should also consider banning political parties and force these adults to work together as proper representatives from their ridings. Far too often do MLA’s, MP’s vote along party lines for various reasons (often against the best interests of their own supposed represented constituents). Or even put a cap on how big a party can be. It’s actually strange how we keep voting in career politicians rather than the best and brightest fit for the job. Money in politics in general needs to be reformed.
