Re: “Free enterprise supporters: Unite!” Letters, March 19.
There’s much anticipation as to the “ethnic-voter” scandal effects on the B.C. Liberals’ chances in the imminent provincial election. Such a question may still be a little too presumptive, and a little too hasty – although I personally hope that the Liberals are finally thrown out of office.
One must take note that the provincial NDP had in fact won the 1996 provincial election with a smaller percentage of votes (by about three points) than that of the then-still-Opposition B.C. Liberals.
How is such an injustice within “democracy” possible?
The NDP won a large majority of their seats mostly with a far slimmer margin than the riding wins by the Liberals.
Bizarre? Yes. Impossible to re-occur in the upcoming election? Not at all.
