Question and investigate before casting your provincial ballot
KAMLOOPS — Quite often, after writing a column about the foibles of a particular political party (more often than not the BC Liberals simply because they provide a wealth of column-worthy material) I see a comment that goes something like…
‘I agree they are not the best and have their faults but given the alternative, I’ll hold my nose and vote for those Liberals.’
Or another favourite, ‘Look what they (being the NDP) did the last time they were government! We can’t afford that again.’
First off, I think holding your nose and voting for a party that you know or at least feel (listen to that inner voice) a certain degree of distrust for, is the worst possible reason to vote for anyone. Imagine how that would work in other aspects of your life.
