Christy Clark & HST Referendum

Recently, the George Abbott camp suggested that it is "misleading and confusing” for Christy Clark to move the HST Vote from the public to the BC Legislature, in addition to being "undemocratic".  See their full press release here

It is very unfortunate that the George Abbott camp has come out with this "spin" as it is completely untruthful.  The fact is Christy Clark has recognized that the HST Public Vote (Referendum) will ultimately fail so let's save $30 million dollars and hold that same vote in the House and ask our MLA's to represent us and those who choose not to represent the voters' will be punished in the next election.  In fact, those BC Liberal Party members' who feel that their MLA is not representing them can block them from becoming the Party candidate in the 2013 Provincial Election in their local provincial electoral district and let's use that $30 million for other public priorities like health care, education or social services
