Dear Editor:
It is time for Keith Baldrey to call it quits and retire from doing the present commentary job. He is just like Adrian Dix, living in the Twilight Zone. He quotes about the B.C. Liberal government, "Clearly unpopular with a majority of its constituents."
How did he come up with that phrase? Surely not from the inadequate polling results. The polling results are bogus, big time. There are over four million taxpayers in B.C. These polls usually are done with 1,000 responses. To get a truer picture of what taxpayers are thinking is to do a poll riding by riding. That's right, a poll of all 85 B.C. ridings. For example, the results in Jenny Kwan's riding would be for the NDP, and the results for Rich Coleman's riding would be for the Liberals. In the provincial election next year, the NDP strongholds will be won by the NDP and the Liberal strongholds will be won by the Liberals. What happened in 2001 with the Liberals winning 77 of 79 will not happen with the NDP this time around.
Joe Sawchuk, Duncan
