In British Columbia during the past two decades, events have placed this province into a unique but potentially destructive position, that if left unchecked, will not only destroy this province, but also the very foundation of this nation. I am referring to the loss of governance for the benefit of the majority of the population.
These events started and escalated when elected governments aligned themselves with a small portion of the population that are well funded, very vocal and place their self interests and doctrines above the desires of the general population.
In this province we have two parties that vie for power, the National Democratic Party and the Liberal party. The NDP traditionally have aligned themselves with unions and the "working people", and they successfully drove business and industry out of this province leaving no jobs for the working people. Then they aligned themselves with the environmental movement and along with their resounding defeat placed us in this precarious position.
The NDP, through this previous alignment and our present Liberal government, are now both committed to the environmental movement, therefore they are all now in the position that any bill that relating to the environment will have both parties voting on the side of the environmental movement.
In B.C., we now have two major parties committed to approximately 5 per cent of the population, so my question is, just who the hell is representing the other 95 per cent of the people in this province?
