VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Even if you can't vote in today's by-election in Vancouver-Point Grey, you should be interested in the outcome. A seat in the legislature is at stake for Premier Christy Clark. http://www.news1130.com/search?A ... ublishDateTS%20DESC

U-Vic political scientist Dennis Pilon says the defeat of a premier would itself make history. "It could also be historic if she wins because it's very hard for governments to win by-elections. I think the last time someone in government won a by-election was going back a number of decades."
He adds a loss would likely make the Liberals question whether Clark has what it takes to win a general election, which could push the party back to a leadership race.
What could hurt any of the six candidates, according to Pilon, is the relatively quiet campaign overshadowed by the drama of the federal vote, and likely some election fatigue.作者: tiffiant 時間: 2011-5-11 07:18
