One interpretation of the premier showing up in the ledge to actually do his job for a change is that he’s serving himself up on a platter to eat the HST and resign as leader, taking one for the team so the party can re-brand itself into a post-Campbell kinder, gentler band of neoliberal privateers.
After failing to show up in the legislature to even vote for the HST, Gordon Campbell is suddenly the government’s leading point man for defending the hated harmonized sales tax.
