VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - You can now count the number of days Premier Gordon Campbell has left on the job on one hand, as the Liberals prepare to choose their new leader.
Gordon Wilson, the man who replaced Campbell, took the party from obscurity to official opposition in 1991 before his departure two years later.
In a recent blog posting he compared the leadership hopefuls to well-known cartoon characters. Wilson dubbed Kevin Falcon as the 'Waylon Smithers' to Campbell's 'Mr. Burns.'
"I think in terms of the sycophantic 'I'll do anything Mr. Burns wants and that very much has been Falcon's trademark over the last number of years. I think he is a sort of hand-picked successor if they can pull the vote off."
But Wilson worries that if Falcon or Mike De Jong win, the party will be taken further to the right.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-2-21 07:28
