Political faithful accept discomfort

To the Editor,

Re: Another holiday bad news for province’s economy, Letters, May 12.

With Randy O’Donnell’s closing homage to H.L. Mencken, one has to wonder if he thinks he alone isn’t deservedly getting it good and hard from the provincial and federal governments that, in both cases, a striking minority of voters have been duly authorized to authorize; and then marvel at how thoroughly the subject of electoral reform has disappeared from amongst those leading the Canadian and British Columbian political discourse.

As well, marvel at the level of governmental discomfort even the faithful, like O’Donnell, are willing to accommodate.
