On
February 26th, 2011, Christy Clark was elected leader of the BC Liberal Party,
making her Premier of the province ... she was then sworn in as British
Columbia's 35th Premier on March 14th, 2011 ...
On May 12th, 2011 she was elected MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey MLA in a by-election ... and on May 30th, 2011 Christy Clark then took her legislative seat as MLA ...
SO ... how many days has the government she leads conducted the people business in the legislature since then?

Between
April 27th, 2011 and June 2nd, 2011 Christy Clark had the government in session
for 20 days ... between
October 4th, 2011 and November 24th, 2011 the legislature was in session for 23
days ... and ... between
February 14th, 2012 and May 31st, 2012 the government was in session for another 48
days.
Since Christy Clark was elected as the leader of the BC Liberal Party -- and therefore the Premier of the province of British Columbia -- the legislature has been in session a total of 91 days.
That's just three months.
Christy Clark has been premier for 21 and a half months; government has been in the legislature, doing the peoples business, for just 3 of them.
Given events of the past few weeks with controversy over whether Auditor General John Doyle would be given a second term ... the erratic spending of 10's of thousand of dollars on a constituency office by BC Liberal MLA Eric Foster in Vernon - Monashee ... and the complete mishandling, by the Liberals, of whether BC Liberal MLA John Slater was to have the opportunity to run again for the party ... I'm not surprised its only been 90 days.
This government continues to stagger to the finish line of this electoral term --- and only a miracle will see them win re-election for another term.
A decade of government under the NDP saw reckless spending and numerous scandals. And a decade of government under the BC Liberals has really seen much the same.
Now the question is; will the people of BC turn to, and consider, the option of electing a BC Conservative government led by John Cummins?

Of course this Doyle situation only raises questions regarding what other scandals Doyle hasn't run into and the dodgeball re: the Basi Virk BC Rail scandal being played by the Liberals. Even more scandalous is the lack of public disgust being expressed by any of the Liberal caucus . Is there not one that will go on record to express disgust? The first critics of a political party's misbehavior should be the ones who can correct it best-ie the members of that party. A lack of action on that party's part only indicates no interest in such action.
