There're calls for her to do so, but I doubt if her successor can save the BC Liberals - hey, maybe Justin Trudeau can make a try.
Will Christy Clark resign?

JLM in actual fact the BC Liberal Party is the rebuilt Social Credit party
Yes it is the coalition of the Federal Conservatives and the Federal Liberals.
Once again the Party is about to sink in the waters of self interest.
She is done and I believe the people will be waiting for what comes after,
the immediate future will feature the NDP.

I don't see the Provincial Conservatives taking over, so, yes, it will be the NDP.

No, the BC liberal party was originally a Liberal Party.Then the socreds imploded, and campbell and his cronies did an end run and took over the Party.

Serious question, is that really a good thing? From anything I've heard about any NDP, it's not..?
In Alberta, I would not want the NDP running the show but the leader and his sidekick sure throw alot of crap at the government

So many voters were royally sucked in.You'll probably have it reinstated or nailed as a transit or infrastructure tax on gas.
