| Me? Donate my own money to the BC Liberal Party? Are you flipping kidding? |
Rather an astonishing lack of leadership, especially given the $9.5 million the BC Liberals raised last year.
Clark was quickly taken to the political woodshed and coughed up $550 today but the damage has been done.
Unfortunately, the hapless leader of an unhappy party is far from alone on the Chintz-O-Meter.
In fact, with a few notable exceptions, one could easily argue that the BC Liberal Party donations for 2011 indicated exactly how disaffected each MLA actually is with their current situation.
For MLAs making over $101,000, cabinet ministers making over $150,000 and especially a premier making well over $193,000 plus golden pensions, it looks downright miserly to give nothing and skinflint to give less than $1,000 - or under 1% of basic salary.
On the other hand, how pleased can Rich Coleman, Linda Reid and Ben Stewart be giving more than $4,000 each while their colleagues sit on their fat wallets?
Here are the numbers taken from Elections BC's financial donation records online.

Christy Clark contributions in 2011 matched that of out-gone Gordon Campbell's ZERO, although he didn't leave Office until March 14, 2011.
In the previous year Gordon Campbell laid down $1400.00
2011
Iain Black $650.00
Barry Penner $355.00, so it would seem that the former AG was not happy shortly after the Leadership Race was won by Christy Clark! The $355.00 is the first step up above $0!
Bill Barisoff $0.00 The Speaker is non-partisan
With the sort of money these drones are collecting, one would think they would be putting some or a lot of it into their party
When I checked the Elections BC website I found that Colin HAnsen's campaign lst time go almost all of its $$ from the BC LIberal party. Interesting!

At leae the NDP drones who make the same MLA salary are putting more money back into their party.
Also noticed no ontributions to the party from someone named Tieleman.
Jim Sinclair with all of his big salary from labour is cheap.
Some of the NDP MPs who make more than their MLA associates are also cheap.
