Rich Coleman says the Liberal caucus is all on the same page
VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

B.C's Deputy Premier is shaking his head at any talk of the Liberal caucus being in "chaos" ahead of next week's budget being tabled.

Rich Coleman says to put it simply the talk is just ridiculous.

"It really is, you know I saw some of the stuff last night and I thought these guys should actually come inside the room but we don't allow them in the room. You know we have had folks that have had differing opinions but we have always been that way we have been the party of free votes since 1997 that has never changed so I think if we had a vote in the house we would win it we will continue to win it and we will come out of this session strong."

Coleman, in recent weeks, has twice predicted the Liberals will win the spring election.

Yesterday a source told CKNW some MLA's within the Liberal caucus were angry with the premier's leadership and an lacklustre throne speech.

    I don't believe this. I think CKNW rigged it's polling on todays question. All along people weren't going to vote for the liberals and suddenly everyone changes their minds. Bill Good, Simi Sarah and especially Sean Leslie are liberal hacks. The only one with any journalistic integrity is John McComb and I think this because I think I detect a certain incredulousness in his voice when commenting on some of the antics of this liberal government. Of course this is only my opinion, I could be wrong. Only with regards to John McCombe though, the others are surely hacks.

    Simi Sara is not a liberal hack, she is more balanced. She is very hard on the liberals, holding their feet to the fire. Ever wonder why Clark is never on her show? Too scared I would imagine. She goes on Good's show because he is so easy on her. John is also great. The others try to pretend they are unbiased, but I highly doubt it. And yes, I do think the polls leave something to be desired. They are usually skewed at some point when the hacks want to favour the Liberals. I have complained to NW, but got the standard line that the polls are not skewed. It is simply not possible, and I think it is a disgrace. It happens every single time!

    I don't think we have to worry about polls or 'NW talk show hosts.
    . The liberals are self destructing pure and simple. Every time I hear Coleman, Bell and the rest of the hacks I want to throw up. What bunch of incompetent bullshitters. What the hell three more more months of this crap then they'll all be gone. Good riddance the whole lot.

      @bctaxpayer NW receives substantial advertising revenue from Liberal sources; it's difficult to bit the hand that feeds you. The editorial department are bound to be influenced by those revenues. Something to keep in mind when assessing opinions from NW.

    bctaxpayer: The NDP have a up hill battle to try and secure the 49% plus of the majority vote required by them to become government. Just won't happen.

      @joes_2868 I guess BC lie BERALS with 32 percent won't either.
