		Dosanjh has thrown away 35 years of dedication to social democracy to run for the most right-wing leader the federal Liberals have ever had.
		My experience working for and believing in Dosanjh can be mirrored in the efforts of thousands of others, from his NDP cabinet and caucus colleagues to supporters who knocked on doors for the beleaguered premier before he was defeated in his home riding of Vancouver-Kensington on May 16, 2001.
		Dosanjh's likely fate is to join the list of turncoat exNDP members who have succumbed to the siren call of the federal Liberal party only to go down to discredited defeat.
