Gordon Campbell to make Significant Announcement

Quote:

Premier Gordon Campbell is summoning the media to what is being called a "significant announcement" this morning.


A news conference is set for 11:30 this morning at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver.

No word on the content of the announcement, but it comes as rumours swirl in Victoria that back-bench MLA's will discuss his leadership at a caucus meeting tomorrow.

Campbell is also set to receive the results of a confidence vote by party members at the Liberal convention in Penticton later this month.
What do you guys think? Something tells me he's stepping down.

Who's next up in the Liberal Party?

Politics within a political party = good times. Like vultures. It's every person for themselves.

My money is on Kevin Falcon taking over.
I got $5 on it!

Well, it looks like the people got what they wanted - at least, if you believe the comment forums of various newspapers, blogs, etc.

xxxrsxxx 11-03-2010 10:35 AM

liberal party will have a vote on nov 19/20 to choose their new leader

The_AK 11-03-2010 10:37 AM

comment on CBC.ca "If he isn't announcing his resignation, its just another lie."

haha

TheNewGirl 11-03-2010 10:37 AM

I think they were set up for a leadership review any how in the coming months.

Well this might save the Liberal Party moving forwards. Kevin Falcon's being mentioned a lot but he and Rich Colman are very close to Campbell that might taint them moving forwards.

There's some outsiders, Christie Clark & Diane Watts are being bandied around too. Both would be 'clean' of the whole HST scandal.

So now none of the parties in BC have any sort of strong leadership. :thumbsup:

Roach 11-03-2010 11:03 AM

A leaderless Liberal party is still better than Carol James and the NDP.
