What people (who don't live in BC) need to know is the thrice rebranded BC United is a conservative party. Calling themselves "BC Liberal" for 17 years was a rebranding of Social Credit which ruined its brand. The current caucus of the BC United Party held over from Christy Clark's disastrous reign and she herself had strong ties to the Harper government. Indeed, she hired many Stephen Harper staffers. She took Alberta oil money. Falcon himself campaigned for Maxime Bernier who is far right. There is nothing "liberal" about BC United. The BC Conservative Party has two MLAs and until recently polled at 1%. They are further to the right than Atilla the Hun and Falcon seeking to merge the two is a sign BC United has zero principles.
Personally, I am highly dubious about the BC Conservatives polling so high and so suddenly and can't imagine those idiots running any show.
