James should just have forgot about Sihota and focused upon David Levi as party president - Levi is not only the son of former long-time MLA Norm Levi (has political instincts from that background) but is also president of Growthworks, managing $1 billion in assets.
Levi would have had the financial connections to assist in retiring the provincial party debt, provided a moderate direction for the party, and boosted the party's image. Not Sihota.
Is there any reason to believe that he had any interest in the job??
