The NDP's "Recall Emerson" Petition

Just got the most recent "eNDP" newsletter today. They're touting their "Recall Emerson" petition on it, so I went and took a look. Here's what they say on it:

"We, the undersigned, believe MP David Emerson should resign and face a by-election — so Vancouver Kingsway voters may decide which candidate and party will represent them in Parliament."

Humm, I seem to remember reading about something like this back in 1993...

"The Reform Party of Canada - 1993 Federal ELECTION PLATFORM (Published January 29, 1993)

Referendum, Initiative and Recall

If elected, a Reform Government will introduce legislation and constitutional proposals to create binding referendum, citizens initiative, and recall mechanisms at the federal level."

Oh yea... if I remember correctly, a lot of people said that this was a bad idea... wasn't one of the groups that was against it the NDP?

Ahh, convinent... they've had a change of heart I see.

Sorry lads, but you missed the boat on that idea. If you'd like, you can add it to your platform for the NEXT election, and we can debate it then. Of course, I think you'll get a LOT of support for the idea... next time. Yep, out "hidden agenda" has been exposed... get the left to support OUR ideas for a change!
