The BC Liberals are a right-wing party that took over from the inside and stacked the party with former Alberta and federal Conservatives employees. It is not a "Liberal" or "liberal" party, but is a Conservatives party - and that's why the G&M, which is staunchly pro-Conservatives, endorses them.
- Christy Clark was named as possible successor to Stephen Harper for leader of the federal Conservatives party.
- The BC Liberals were in discussions to merge with the BC Conservatives just 2 years ago.
- Clark has stacked the BC Liberals with former Harper aides and staff from the Alberta Conservatives party.
- BC people and news media have been calling for the BC Liberals to change their name to reflect their right-wing identity for many years.
- The BC Liberals' own words of why they won't change their name is because the "liberal" brand appeals to BC, and it gets them votes at the voting booths.
