Dear Editor:
Might I remind everyone that Keith Baldrey is a political correspondent, but that gives him no particular expertise regarding what will happen in this or any other provincial or municipal election, because he is not a polling expert.
For that matter, look how wrong the so-called experts have been in most elections, and it’s almost like he has become the cheering section for the Green party. As far as the Greens are concerned, were I trying to strategically place my vote to ensure that the Liberals did not have another win in this upcoming election, I would choose the party that has the best chance of defeating the Liberal party, and that would be a vote for the NDP.
If Andrew Weaver held the balance of power in a minority situation, he may just throw his support behind a Liberal minority as opposed to an NDP minority, because he seems to have a real problem with John Horgan, and he has supported Christy Clark’s Liberals in the past, even on initiatives not supported by a large percentage of people who are forever affected by those decisions, like the generations of farmers, and their families, affected by Site C Dam construction.
Personally I just don’t trust Andrew Weaver to follow his Green agenda, if he were to throw his support behind Christy Clark, because any chance of changing our electoral system under a Liberal government, will never happen, nor will corporate and union donations to political parties come to an end.
Wayne McQueen, Burnaby
