Re: "Listing Liberals unable to right their ship," Aug. 8.
It is time for Courier columnist Keith Baldrey to call it quits and retire from doing the present commentary job. He is just like Adrian Dix, living in the twilight zone. He quotes about the B.C. Liberal government, "Clearly unpopular with a majority of its constituents." How did he come up with that phrase? Surely not from the inadequate polling results. There are over four million taxpayers in B.C. These polls usually are done with a 1,000 responses. To get a more true picture of what taxpayers are thinking is to do a poll riding by riding. That's right, a poll of all 85 B.C. ridings. Example, the results in Jenny Kwan's riding would be for the NDP, and the results for Rich Coleman's riding would be for the Liberals. If Keith would do his homework and go back to the 2009 elections results, and apply the present 45 per cent popularity vote for the NDP to the 2009 election results, the NDP would still be the opposition party.
