It is always easier to be critical and a back seat driver than it is to actually be responsible for making it work.
Take some of the major issues in the province.
Trans-mountain creates good paying union jobs (important to the NDP); it has many but not all of the first nations supporting it and has the environmental part of the party upset. This is a no-win file. Similar dynamics at play with other pipelines.
The BC Ferries service is a can of worms that everyone is scared to touch.
Housing, Education and Health Care all have conflicting interests of strong unions, limits on new funding and are highly level of importance to the public.
They have to deal with hard issues and go back home to their community and sell the decisions.
