Andrew makes some interesting points in his in his comment about my entry yesterday regarding the rumours about Gordon Campbell.
If indeed Campbell has been misusing his power and his position of authority then he should resign, and the media should report on it. Certainly he would have been screaming blue murder should it have been an NDP premier in this situation.
However, I disagree that my analysis was superficial. Based on the information that I had received (obviously a less complete rumour than some of the ones floating out there) it was correct - a private case of adultery is not grounds for resignation in a pluralistic society such as Canada in the 21st century. If, as I said above, the adultery involved a misuse of public funds and a betrayal of public trust, then that's a different matter.
But my main contention still stands: if Gordo goes, it won't make a damn bit of difference to the hateful, hurtful Liberal agenda.
