British Columbia’s Conservative Party is facing another political shake-up as more MLAs leave the caucus, deepening pressure on party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
Two more B.C. Conservative MLAs, Donegal Wilson and Scott McInnis, have left the party caucus, adding to a growing wave of departures. Wilson said she remains conservative but no longer has confidence in the party leadership.
The departures follow the formation of a new political group involving five former B.C. Conservative legislators. The group has described itself as a stable alternative for voters and says it intends to provide a different approach to provincial politics.
The developments create a significant challenge for Findlay as the B.C. Conservatives attempt to maintain a united opposition presence in the legislature. The caucus changes could also reshape political competition in British Columbia ahead of future provincial campaigns.
The growing divisions are being closely watched as B.C. politics enters a period of increased political realignment.
