“He says there will be some debriefing on “what happened here”.”

Got a mirror Adrian?

British Columbians voted for jobs…plain and simple. Way to go Christy and her great team of candidates

He is to arrogant to see the real problem.

With this kind of attitude Dix and the NDP can expect the same results again in 4 years.

Whew, I can finally breath out…

I remembered. I voted. Win, win. For me anyways.

Big congrats to Shirley, Mike, John & Coralee….

You did the central interior very proud.

Also goes to show you the recent validity of the ‘polls’ during the last 3 or 4 provincial elections in Canada. Kind of like Survivor, you have no idea what is going to happen or who is getting the blindside until the votes are cast.

He had skeletons in his closet and so hoped to ride easy to the premiers office.

First sign the ndp would lose IMO was when they agreed with the other parties not to use footage from the debate in party advertising. Essentially they agreed what would not be discussed in the election in making that agreement, and the party faithful from all parties simply stuck to the party guide book on slogans and rhetoric. It was a decision that election wouldn’t be on ideas and campaigning, but rather on nefarious party platforms and talking points. That doesn’t win elections.

For Dix to win he had to drive hard against the HST broken trust with voters from the last election, he needed to remind voters of the BC Rail scandal Christy Clark was up to her armpits in, he need to be talking about the botched liquor distribution privatization, or the BC Ferries scandals, or the Independent Power Producer scandals, or how the carbon tax is hurting the BC middle class, or at least on occasion talk about the turn to regressive taxation by the BC liberals… Adrian Dix didn’t even talk about any of that… and so who could really support his position as a position of change if he couldn’t talk about the flaws in the other party.

The ndp strategy of not holding the governing party to account for its record and allowing the governing party to define who his party would be why they lost.

I can imagine Dix sitting in his favourite chair listening to his wife recite poetry to try and console him for the next few nights. As Homer would say, “In your face Dix, nyah nyah, loser”!

Eagle, I suspect mossad agents were behind the NDP loss.

Should have called Dix up Eagleone

Carbon tax – wasn’t Dix going to ‘expand’ the carbon tax. Couldn’t talk about ferries without dragging the fast cats the NDP scrapped last time they were in power. Couldn’t talk about IPPs as they are ‘green power’ and who is not for green initiatives? The LDB partial privatization didn’t happen so couldn’t talk about that. Dix brought up the HST in every interview he had and said they would call an inquiry on BC Rail the day they came into power as well as get rid of the balanced budget law so they could run deficits for another 5 years…

Just read someone elses comment on another site. He said, “Will Dix excuse his loss because he is only 49 years old”? lol

Not funny harbinger…that is sick.

I really think the NDP would have done better with almost anyone other than Adrian Dix.

So glad he was chosen!

sorry nononsense, Harbinger’s comment WAS funny!!

Hey, nononsense, ever heard of the phrase “Many a true word spoken in jest”? I have. I sometimes live by it. So there.

“Just read someone elses comment….” Hey, nononsense. I know what plagarism is. Ain’t I smart, eh?

Dix has no character ….. dull, dull, dull …. he does not look like a leader who can implement change for the better.

Clark does!!

I guess you all like to lay on stretchers in the hallways of hospitals because the rooms have been closed by the government! If you get there, make sure you remember who you voted for.

nononsense,

the rest of us live in the real world and realize that we have to pay for what we get.

Those of you expecting something for nothing are pretty sad today.

Seriously nononsense? Were you around for the healthcare rally we had up here when the NDP ran healthcare into the ground? Doctors left. People shipped to Edmonton for broken bones. Get a grip.

I think this shows we answer polsters thinking about a utopian communistic world where assets are allocated based on need not merit (ie a unionized NDP world).

But when it comes time to vote we all want to know that hard work pays off and union members wont be elevated to the upper middle class based on senority (a non-NDP world). We are all sick of unions and their disconnect with reality.
