| Description | B.C. NDP Leader Carole James’s woes are mounting in the wake of Gordon Campbell’s resignation and continuing controversy over a stipend provided to provincial New Democratic Party president Moe Sihota.
Ms. James’s decision in early October to expel Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson without consulting caucus triggered public complaints from party members about her leadership.
Those complaints intensified after it was learned that Mr. Sihota is being paid a stipend by the party using what it describes as a “generous, earmarked gift from the labour movement.”
Sources within the NDP said some MLAs are upset about being kept in the dark about that arrangement for nearly a year, while others are also concerned about how the deal is structured.
Now, with Mr. Campbell on his way out and a leadership race to choose a successor under way, concerns about Ms. James’s leadership have been sharpened. |
