Klein gets a wake up call

55%. 

 

That's all the support the Conservative Party could muster for King Ralph, and now he has to seriously think about his long goodbye.  And now Preston Manning is thinking about running for the leadership.

 

I had thought he would be somewhere in the 70% range, given the unhapiness with recent budgets and the retirement date.  But 55% is a big slap in the face, considering he is usally closer to 90%.  His only real option is to announce his retirement has been pushed up.  But let's be honest, he's ruined what should have been a gracious exit and a great legacy. 

 

It's sad, really.  Klein is not perfect, but he was probably the best premier in the country in the 90s.
