Former NDP cabinet minister offers Liberals advice

A former NDP cabinet minister who watched his party fall apart in the 2001 provincial election says the Liberals currently in power should be brushing up their resumes.

Paul Ramsey was part of the NDP government which almost wiped out the socreds in 1991 and was nearly wiped out ten years later by the Liberals.

He says the writing's on the wall for many members of Gordon Campbell's team, and they know it.

"The first thing that many of the Liberals are going to have to consider as NDPers did in say 2000 is they don't have a future in politics.   They better keep their resumes up to date because the majority of them won't be sitting in the legislature after the next election."

In 2001, the Liberals won all, but two of the province's 79 seats.
