| Description | With Premier Gordon Campbell’s B.C. Liberal Party in crisis over his protracted departure, the rival New Democratic Party reached an equal state of disarray with Carole James vowing to put her leadership to a vote on Saturday by her party’s governing body.
Seeking to quell a growing caucus revolt, Ms. James accused her critics of selfish, destructive behaviour and said she won’t tolerate any more dissent.
“There will be a fundamental choice in front of the party,” a visibly angry Ms. James told reporters in her Victoria office on Friday. “Our party has done this before and somebody has to stand up and say enough. That’s what I’m doing, I’m saying enough of this in-fighting. We have to grow up as a party.”
Meanwhile, in Vancouver, the B.C. Liberal caucus was still mopping up on Friday after this week’s spectacular blowup by MLA Bill Bennett, who was ejected from cabinet on Wednesday for suggesting Mr. Campbell should fast-track his departure as premier. |
