Dear Editor:
Once upon a time a founder of the NDP said something like; "never get so hungry for power that you abandon your principles."
So in this election, the NDP travelled the high road and got creamed. None of the experts seem to know why this happened so I offer a theory: It's a case of the old hare and tortoise race.
A lot of people who would have voted NDP were convinced by the polls that their party was a shoo-in, so they didn't bother to vote. On the other hand, the Liberals panicked and came out in force. I think this is verified by the low overall turnout. So we should never take anything for granted, and I do believe Christy Clark will never get elected anywhere.
