Who’s out for the BC Liberals? The question should be, “Who isn’t”?


The clock is ticking on Christy
Clark and the BC Liberals
Well, as of late Thursday morning (August 30th), here's the list of BC Liberal MLAs that have announced they will not be running in the next election:

  • Harry Bloy – the ONLY Liberal MLA that supported Christy Clark
  • Kash Heed – former Solicitor General
  • Kevin Krueger – former Minister of Social Development … Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts … Minister of Community Development … and former Minister of State for Mining
  • Dave Hayer
  • Murray Coell
  • John Les - Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier
  • Bill Barisoff – House Speaker
  • George Abbott - Education Minister
  • Mary McNeil - Children & Family Development Minister
  • Kevin Falcon - BC Finance Minister and Deputy Premier
... and Randy Hawes, as of Tuesday (Aug 28th) says, “… he is still weighing his options.”

Would you not agree with me in saying that's a very substantial list given the names on it?

Other than two backbenchers (Hayer and Coell) these are all BC Liberal MLA's that have played a major role in the Cabinets of both Gordon Campbell, and Christy Clark. 

For Christy Clark to say this is simply nothing more than a rejuvenation of the party is absurd. 

Who’s out for the BC Liberals? The question should be, “Who isn’t”?  Stay tuned … there will definitely be more to come.
