Should there be a Provincial General Election on June 24th?

Over in the Twitter-universe, Independent Cariboo-North MLA Bob Simpson publicly mused about a June 24th provincial election with a HST Referendum Vote (if there is no federal election - which we'll all know the answer tomorrow or Wednesday) which could offer the following benefits to the governing BC Liberals:

1) Catch BC NDP off guard as they have their Leadership Convention on April 17th and Moe Sihota (BC NDP Party Leader) is supposedly (according to media reports) going around the Province getting the 85 BC NDP Riding Associations ready for a September provincial election

2) Avoid public battle with BC Teachers Federation who are asking for (according to Global BC), a "double-digit" wage increase while the provincial gov't is sticking to its "net zero" contract mandate

3) Premier Clark avoiding by-election in Vancouver-Point Grey and run in nearest riding in general election

4) Having referendum vote on same day as General Election would allow Premier Clark to claim the HST Debate resolved

5) Catch the BC Conservative Party (no relation to Federal Conservative Party) off-guard as their Leadership Convention is on May 28th and they don't presently have all 85 Riding Associations registered yet (ran 24 Candidates in the 2009 Provincial General Election)

As I said earlier tonight on Twitter  - if the BC Liberals decide to "pull the plug" on the Province's 39th Parliament by May 26th (necessary date for start to 28 day campaign) , I believe such a decision will really backfire on the BC Liberals and voters' will likely make them pay for it at the polls

There is some political advantage logic to it but I don't think it'll wash with the average voter who still harbours some anger towards the BC Liberals' over the HST and believe it can/will become a campaign issue, should the BC Liberals call for a June 24th General Election vote

What do you think -- should the BC Liberals call for a June 24th vote or should they wait until at least 2012/2013?
