What Makes a Party Legitimate?

This has been a tumultuous week in BC politics and it has been all good for the BC Conservatives. 
  • high profile Liberal supporter Rick Peterson said he will run for the BC Conservatives
  • John vanDongen crossed the floor and joined the BC Conservatives as our first MLA
  • Kevin Falcon and  George Abbott say they don't think they will run again for the BC Liberals
People are saying that this gives legitimacy to our party. They have it backward.  Our party has legitimacy and that is why these things are happening and will continue.

People are coming to our party because they ate starving for something to vote for. They are tired of supporting a party they don't believe in just to prevent an NDP win.

The BC Conservative Party is the the only legitimate free enterprise party in the province and we will see a landslide of likeminded people coming home.  People who have been bullied by the Liberal's NDP fear mongering for too long.

We offer fiscally responsible, honest, transparent government. 
  • Government that will support job growth in our province by actually supporting investment and businesses by controlling spending and lowering taxes. 
  • Government that will address the problems with our court system. 
  • Government that will support our natural resources while protecting the environment.
Our policies and our integrity are what give  us legitimacy.  What we see now is that British Columbians understand this and people are re-aligning with where their beliefs have always been.
