I think it would have been nice in that the guys going for premier would be more dependent on their constituents than me picking the person right for my neighbourhood and the premier getting a vote by association.

I really wasn't much a fan of having Dalton back in, but when my local Liberal MP comes by, shakes my hand, and contributes to my hood, while the PC candidate has her call center in Vancouver call me to remind me to vote -- how the hell could I vote otherwise?

So I have someone who's good for my neighbourhood, but the party in power that I don't agree with. There is often a significant difference between what is good for the neighbourhood versus what's good for the province.
