95% Vote No To Emerson in Mock Byelection.
{Via CBC }
Yesterday more than 900 people in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway held a mock byelection, and voted over 95% for Emerson to step down and run in a real byelection.
As I commented on another blog yesterday I'm amazed that this story has kept this kind of momentum for so long. I honestly (like many) thought that it would quiet down at least until the house was back. Interestingly, it's the voters themselves in this riding keeping it alive more than the media. I think Mr.Emerson's ride will become bumpier yet. Wonder what happens the first time he has to meet his constituents face to face. There's no question that there is alot of anger in this traditionally Liberal Riding. I bet Emerson and Harper's decision to "not" co-operate with the Ethics Commissioner won't sit well here either.
