Progressive Conservative Party former leadership candidate of Newfoundland and Labrador, Bill Barry, recently confessed that he found it very difficult to “play the game” when he felt the game was over. The Corner Brook businessman, Barry, mentioned in a statement issued through an email on early Thursday morning that he was withdrawing from the race, leaving fellow businessman and friend Frank Coleman as the sole candidate.
In his email, Barry discussed several issues including the lack of support among cabinet ministers, his positions on recent policy decisions and how he felt he was playing against a stacked deck. He stated that “obviously, you know it’s not one particular thing, but it was a recognition in my own mind that the race wasn’t really a race.” Moreover, Barry added that “I just chose to recognize that the leader has been selected by the party insiders.” Furthermore, he alleged that the insiders have a right to present their own rules “but if they’re going to do that, why have a convention?”
Elaborating his concerns, Barry explained that “if the determination is going be made before the debate happens, and before an event happens and people are going to all head in one particular direction, why go through the process? It seems disingenuous to me.” He elucidated that “no matter how it unfolded for me over the last three months I just reached a point where I felt that the decision for who the new leader was going to be was actually already made.”
