This is pretty big new in the scope of Provincial politics.

The BC United Party that is currently the opposition with 23 out 87 seats is just going to fold and leave all the right wing voters for the rising far right BC Conservative party.

Deal has been reached for BC United to suspend provincial election campaign and some of its candidates will run for B.C. Conservatives. Kevin Falcon will not be running in the election. The list is still being worked on for others running for Conservatives

BC United was just behind in the polls and was bleeding opportunist candidates. I was hoping that they would've stuck in the race until they were down to at least 5 candidates. I suppose their corporate masters whipped them into line. Hopefully they cant transfer all those donations directly to the BC Conservatives since there is a limit on political contributions for every person.

It's pretty crazy to go from proposing a merger 3 months ago to completely folding up shop and letting the other party have the scraps. I suppose this does prove BC Liberals/United were and are a corrupt and incompetent party.

Now the BC right wing option is essentially just a bunch of rats that fled a sinking ship along some even further right wingers led by a guy who got kicked out for denying basic science.

Hopefully British Columbians will vote to keep the reactionary guy out of a majority.
