Madu is saying that just because he doesn’t like everything the government does (like health restrictions), that he would not bring down the government he helped to elect—this directed at the UCP members who oppose Bill 81 as is. #ableg
Does he think if UCP members vote against the bill, it will ‘bring down the government’? That seems extreme.
Madu says they have a moral responsibility to pass this bill because it will go against the Alberta Federation of Labour. It’s pretty obvious he has been directed to leave the mass membership buying thing alone, and he is obeying. #ableg
Now Madu is saying that the NDP ‘does not run nominations’. He says the concern that this mass purchasing of memberships will affect nominations is of no concern to NDP for that reason. ‘It doesn’t affect them.’
But, in making this argument, Madu seems to be acknowledging that they *do* want this mass purchase of memberships to be allowed so that nominations *can* be influenced. Otherwise, why would it be a problem to have each person buy their own membership? #ableg
