BCNDP Should Keep Adrian Dix
The whole one-election-and-out-party-leader phenomenon has gotten entirely out of hand. But if your in opposition it means that your guy, when it comes to an election campaign, is always going to be a rookie. It's hard to win that way. Not impossible. But its tying one hand behind your back.

Some times it doesn't take more than one trek through the fields to know a dog that won't hunt. Adrian Dix has the same terminal deficiency of many failed politicos - he can't fight.
To win, you have to be aggressive. You have to be able to lift your words off the page. You have to energize your people and stir the uncommitted.
There's a reason so many great prime ministers have been lawyers. They're not afraid to fight, they know how to put across a winning case, how to counter an adversary and they understand tactics.
It's really easy to mock lawyers - right up until the moment you really need one.
Amusing that a guy with the word "lib" in his handle would attempt to offer advice to a guy in the dipper fold.
I mean it's not as amusing as Jeff Jedras celebrating the victory of the Socred party but it's up there.
I wish Corky would return, he should have won the leadership and he might have actually won this past election.
im still in denial that the libs are in charge:P
In B.C., provincially, there is the Liberal party, and the NDP. Those are your choices (bar spoiler parties). So it is common that many Federal Liberal party supporters would feel a greater affinity for the B.C. Provincial NDP tan the B.C. Liberal party. And I bet many British Columbians, even BC NDP party members, would not want stronger cooperation between the federal NDP and its B.C. Provincial counterpart.
I vote NDP (mostly) provincially, Liberal federal. I don't feel conflicted about it either. I don't feel I'm being mushed between two folds.
It's funny that some federal NDP supporters, like Dana, are so lord-of-the-flies tribal.
