The history of politics in BC is very simple.  A conservative party, going by various names, manages the economy well and promotes economic growth, but antagonizes workers in the public sector and makes a few tone-deaf political mistakes, giving left-wing columnists plenty of ammunition. Every so often, the basically conservative electorate has a hissy fit and votes in the NDP, which does a few good things but makes a general mess of the economy and, of course, lets the fox (public service unions) into the henhouse (public treasury). So, after a short interlude, the conservatives (Social Credit, Liberals, you name it) are back.  This it ever was, is and will be.  The only question is whether the change happens next week or next time.
