Dave Zirnhelt beat Joe Wark by as Ah WORLD '***> 656-1970 many votes as Alex Fraser had over him in 1986. Cliffhanger in Cariboo If my own prediction were somewhat off, the other media fared even worse. "Cliffhanger in Cariboo," trumpeted the $ 00 Province the morning of the byelection. Some cliffhanger. Other journals foresaw a similarly tight race. I suppose that 1000 happens when journalists drink their own bathwater. The defeat a shattering blow to Premier Vander Zalm, al­ though he must have an inkling of impending disaster or he wouldn't have switched places with Municipal Affairs Mini­ CASA REBATE ster Rita Johnston at the UBCM convention in Penticton. Originally, the premier was to have addressed the gathering the day after the byelection. When a beating appeared in­ evitable, he evidently decided to give his talk on the day of the 1989 FORD BRONCO byelection, letting Rita face the music the day after. If the magnitude of the rout surpassed the premier's expec­ tations, Elwood Veitch, economic development minister and & BRONCO II one of Vander Zalm's most ardent supporters, must have smelled a rat long before D-Day. A few days prior to the byelection, Veitch asked me what my predictions were: when I told him the above-mentioned numbers, he said "that close, eh?" Not affected by Cariboo outcome Well, Veitch obviously had picked up the right scent, be­ cause the voters' verdict in Cariboo was a clear thumbs down for Vander Zalm and his government. There is no way the result can be interpreted as just a mes­ sage to the government by slightly disgruntled voters. If it was a message at all, it was that of formerly loyal Socreds who are completely disillusioned with their party. TRADES WELCOME And how does the premier react? His leadership, he says, is w not affected by the outcome in Cariboo. The voters put him into office, and it was up to the voters to turf him out In other $ 00 words, he's not taking die hint. He's determined to stay on as party leader and premier, despite the vote of non-confidence. 750 Well, I got news for Mr. Vander Zalm. He may want to stay on, but there's no way the party will let him. Unless Vander Zalm steps down voluntarily, there will be a cabinet revolt in very short order. Not even the potential threat of Vander Zalm CASH REBATE calling a snap election and taking the government and the party down with him, will deter his critics now. Fight for succession underway 1989 FORD TRUCKS 1/2 Tons. 3/4 Tons, Vander Zalm had a tenuous grip on his cabinet and caucus at the best of times, but the resounding defeat in Cariboo has Rangers, Econolines, XLTs, robbed him of even that. He will no longer be able to control Lariats, 4x4 s, 4x2 s, internal events.The fight for succession has already begun. Automatic, 5-speeds, Grace McCarthy has offered herself as interim leader. The lady Super Cabs, who saved the party once before believes she can do it again. Speaker John Reynolds is rumoured to be ready to head off Standard k a Bud Smith movement. Other dissidents and near-dissidents, Cabs. including Carol Gean, Dave Mercier and Doug Mowat, are positioning themselves for the coming scrap. Vander Zalm's leadership is no longer an issue. Whatever machinations are taking place behind the scenes now, are no longer concerned with whether or not Vander Zalm should step down, but how he can be forced to quit and who will suc­ ceed him. The premier may surprise us all and leave voluntarily. He gave a hint of that possibility a couple of days after the byelec­ tion when he said his daughter had asked him why he puts up "with all this." Why indeed?
