So, let's advance to the next government in line.<br /><br />What does the NDP do with the HST?<br /><br />They should get rid of it when they have the opportunity to do so,<br />or at least reduce it to 1%.<br /><br />So far the NDP has said nothing of doing one or the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-21303154195826949222010-04-27T19:08:26.181-07:002010-04-27T19:08:26.181-07:00Christie Clark or Carole Taylor may re-enter polit...Christie Clark or Carole Taylor may re-enter politics thinking they have distanced themselves enough from Campbell.

Then, after the whole province has shown itself to be really angry, the MLA recall would prove to the voters that the recalling of MLAs has widespead approval. The province, as a whole, would be behind the recall.
