*Please note these are my PREDICTIONS - not statements of fact.
I believe the fix is in.
The circular Brian Danny Dean aka "the Three Amigos" rule is just about complete.
With this of course goes the development of major resources worth billions of dollars.
It's all about the Lower Churchill - in my opinion - it always has been.
Now there are little perks in between such as fibre-optic, land, and minerals - but the big daddy is the Lower Churchill development.
In my opinion the amigo's who all have vested strategic investments, board positions, and of course political connections (each other) are three Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who will enjoy the great reward from natural resource development.
Now that Kathy is nearing the end of her usefulness to the boys - the change is beginning.
Dean is out condemning everything Kathy does except of course - Muskrat Falls. Danny is keeping his nose out of everything - except of course - Muskrat Falls and Brian - well he has not weighed into the fray of what? - Muskrat Falls.
So they have begun - Kathy must still deliver on Muskrat Falls; however it will be a political life altering event which will see the population turn on her - while Dean praises the project.
The Liberals will put forth a farce of a convention - making sure that Dean gets a "fight" for the leadership - and upon his victory - Liberals will unite.
The current sitting members will carry on in the Dean/Danny/Brian government along with a few sitting PC's.
1. Although Ross Wiseman is very willing to cross the floor to advance himself - I think he's lining up for an appointment after he decides he's not running again. Maybe back to health care - hey Ross?
2. Tom Osborne is an interesting situation - he's genetically PC - not ideologically - but he's supposed to be Tory so he is. Well Kathy might put him back in Cabinet as he usually is a guaranteed seat - and in this way try and prevent the crossover - which I don't think he could make his legs do if he tried. I'm still waiting for him to nationalize the parks the Liberals privatized. In either case many things probably go against his grain and further he has been mistreated since the PC's took government - but he just doesn't have the courage. Some may call it loyalty - but nah - he is a social democrat and a fiscal liberal.
3. The "ladies" Charlene, Joan, and Susan are just plain gone. The Liberals even under Dean/Danny won't want them. They will go down with the already hole infested d(under)dale ship. They will not be re-elected and probably will be too fearful to run.
4. The people to look to for crossing are; David Brazil, Sandy Collins, Ray Hunter, Clyde Granter, Paul Lane, Tracey Perry, Jerome Kennedy, Derrick Dalley, John Dinn, Keith Russell, and Wade Verge.
5. Of those potential floor-crossers Darin King and Jerome Kennedy may first challenge for the PC leadership after the premature downfall of Dunderdale. They will be joined in the leadership circus by Kevin O'Brien, Steve Kent and Charlene Johnson. This will be a messy affair with King probably winning out. I think he has the most work done on the run-up.
6. Kevin O'Brien and Charlene Johnson will not run again for the Tories upon the loss and Jerome Kennedy - who could either quit in a huff - or find some useful engagement under the leadership of Dean MacDonald.
7. Darin King, Steve Kent, Tom Osborne, Keith Hutchings, Kevin Parsons, and Terry French will be the Tories who will run again under the PC banner and IF elected become the rat pack for the Tory Opposition.
8. I believe Paul Davis, Clayton Forsey, Glen Little, Glenn Littlejohn, Tom Marshall, Felix Collins, Eli Cross, Dan Crummell, Nick McGrath, Calvin Peach, Ray Hunter (if he does not cross), Tony Cornect, Kevin Pollard, Tom Hedderson, and Ross Wiseman will all choose to bow out of politics or lose their seat.
9. Of those who may look to cross Dean/Danny/Brian will dismiss Sandy Collins, Paul Lane, Tracey Perry, Wade Verge and Dave Brazil (if he doesn't cross within 1 year).
10. Let the games begin - not to worry though - anything that the amigos might be up to will be protected by Bill 29 - which they will continue to protect if they achieve government.
Training for the 2015 Polympics has begun.

Sue, this recycling of the same bunch means more of the same insanity, no matter what Party colour occupies the HOA come October 2015.
As you know, and I believe you fully concur, we need electoral reform in a desperate way. Otherwise, the shenanigans and insider corruption will continue unabated.
Never have we needed, and never has there been, a more opportune time, for a quiet people's revolution in this province. We have to wrest control away from the shysters who occupy the HOA and control the distribution of our resources for the benefit of the few power-brokers....those who have taken our resources and sold them for their own benefit.
We need a new People's Party with a brand new logo(and a more inspiring name), brand new colours, and an iron-clad guarantee that those elected will serve the people of the province. I don't know if such a person exists but I do know this...Dean MacDonald is simply a clone of Danny and Brian.
Kent will be crossing to where the power is. No matter if Dean fizzles as Liberal Leader and drops out and they go nowhere, or if the NDP continue their rise.
Sue I don't believe it will take much training they have been in training for a nice while now and will put their plan into action soon as Muskrat is a go.
What a waste of an intelligent mind. It's a shame through writing you still use your mouth instead of your head.
