| Message | "With a majority of Christian Democrats dissatisfied with Watterson's failure to follow up her first round of legislation with new bills, and the opposition clamouring for change, the Christian Democrat government appears likely to fall. If that occurs, a new election will be held and the fate of Watterson and her party will be decided. I think they've got an uphill fight to retain the plurality, and Watterson's got her work cut out for her; a slim majority of the party in the Assembly now lean socialist, and most of the candidates waiting for the election were groomed by Rob Nairn and are also socialists. If Watterson wins the election, she'll have an even more leftist party. If she loses, she'll be blamed and Nairn will no doubt take over. It's hard to see what sort of result could keep her in power." -- Kyle Douglas, offering political commentary |
