Liberals caught by surprise with premiers announcement

SUMMERSIDE Thursdays announcement by Premier Robert Ghiz that he will be stepping down caught many of his colleagues by surprise.

Premier Robert Ghiz

Environment, Labour and Justice Minister Janice Sherry, (Summerside-Wilmot MLA) said she was caught off guard by Ghizs announcement.

It was a big surprise, I didnt see it coming, she said. I have so much respect and admiration for Premier Ghiz. It has certainly been a joy to work with him and for him. Well miss his guidance and the way he commands the attention of his team and the way he supports his team.

Sherry said the Liberal party is strong and will continue to be so until a new leader is elected.

I have every bit of confidence in our party as a whole, the minister said. Hes made a decision based on his own personal feelings. Hes a great leader and 12 years is a long time in politics.

Sherry said, Ghizs posture during the recent Throne Speech gave her no indication that he was about to step down.

I just felt such pride and admiration of his energy and his enthusiasm and his whole vim for the work that he does, she said. I just thought to myself that hes on his game and hes so confident.

Malpeque MP Wayne Easter said he was unaware that Ghiz would be leaving office.

I think it came as a surprise to most everyone, he said. I was at a meeting with a number of Liberals last night and I attended a lot of Remembrance Day ceremonies and it wasnt even in the rumour mills. I guess, as time unfolds, well find out what the reason is behind the departure.

Poll puts Wilders far-right party on par with Liberals

A new opinion poll in the Netherlands shows Geert Wilderss anti-Islam, anti-EU Freedom Party neck-and-neck with the Liberals, led by prime minister Mark Rutte, as the threat posed by returning Islamic State jihadists replaces the MH17 air disaster at the top of the national agenda.

A weighted average of the countrys four main political polls shows the Liberals losing three seats compared with a month ago, and the Freedom Party gaining three. The poll has the Liberals and the Freedom Party each taking between 25 and 29 seats, an outcome a long way from Mr Ruttes high of 41 seats in the 2012 general election and from the lacklustre 15 won by Mr Wilders.

The public reacted very well to the way the Rutte government handled the aftermath of the MH17 crash and managed to get the vast majority of the bodies repatriated, says political scientist Tom Louwerse of pollster Peilingwijzer.

The Rutte approval factor predictably benefited the Liberals more than the junior coalition partners, Labour, and so there was a spike in the Liberal support that lasted into September but that has now, apparently, worked itself through.

The beneficiary of that working through has been Mr Wilders and the Freedom Party, which, despite approaching the European elections in May on a high, fared not as well as expected after an uncharacteristic gaffe that saw Mr Wilders leading anti-Moroccan chants at an election rally.

The commotion surrounding that chanting, and the Freedom Party resignations that followed, has now died down, Mr Louwerse says. The popularity of the government is dwindling again and the threat of attack posed by returning jihadists with connections to Islamic State gives Wilders a stronger profile.

What is most interesting about this poll, he adds, is the degree to which conservative voters routinely switch allegiance between the Liberals (centre-right on economic matters) and the Freedom Party, depending on topical issues.

For the junior coalition party, Labour, there is little change in the unimpressive 13-17 seats, compared with the 38 seats they took in 2012. By contrast, centre-left D66 again did well, with 20-24 seats, .

As the poll was published, there was more unpopular news as finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem confirmed that a 642 million EU surcharge based on gross domestic product growth is probably correct, according to an initial analysis.
