Join forces to stop the silliness

Re: “Weaver shows danger of proportional system,” letter, May 19. Initially, I agreed with the writer of this letter, but upon reflection realized sometimes the “governing by alliance” that often results can be a good thing.

Initially, I agreed with the writer of this letter, but upon reflection realized sometimes the “governing by alliance” that often results can be a good thing. The Greens’ desire to shut down most resource-related projects in the province could be easily countered by B.C. Liberals and NDP forming an alliance and sharing cabinet seats equally.

How about it, Christy Clark and John Horgan? Join forces to stop the silliness of a party with only three seats dictating major policies? Maybe, just maybe, such an alliance would lead to less arrogant and more responsive government.
