Soccer Party Resurrected?

Well, well, well, whadd'ya know...

In a year, Karin Kirkpatrick has gone from political retirement to registered leader of a brand-new provincial party.

This week, CentreBC was listed as a registered political party, with Kirkpatrick listed as its leader.

“My team and I are pleased to see Elections BC has officially listed CentreBC as a registered political party here in British Columbia,” said Kirkpatrick, former West Vancouver-Capilano MLA with BC United (formerly BC Liberals)...


Now, how about details?

Apparently there are none for the moment but there is going to be a big launch party later this week.

Allegedly.

Personally, I'd like to know who and/or what entity would front the money for such a thing.

How about Social Credit. Hasn’t been used for a while.

Evidently some one or some entity still holds the rights to the name Social Credit.

This does not surprise me as David Eby has grown somewhat toxic and Rustad's Conservatives are somewhat radioactive.

All Eby cares about is Vancouver's West side and property development and his NDP are mired in old and expensive polices that don't work.

Look at all the monies being thrown at TransLink; $16 billion to extend the SkyTrain light metro a mere 21.7 km, yet not a penny for transit elsewhere.

Rustad's lot are in worse shape because they are still full of "flat earth types", he shed a few of the more loony but there is still a lot more to go..

A new centre party may be more successful, unless old treads like Falcon and Clark join, then it will be dead in the water before it starts.

So what do you see "in the middle of the road"? Saw a confederate flag in the audience. Pretenders, nice band, but even if they played for the new party wouldn't vote for them.
Yes it could be Christie and Falcon, perhaps even deJong. They all seem to need jobs and having enjoyed the perks of office, being down on the farm just ain't going to cut it. So who is going to finance it,not those 3. They want to take money or make it but not pay it.
Doesn't matter how much air time Global gives Rustad, its not going to help. Actually it probably hurts. It just exposes the public to his "thoughts" and he is as irritating as hell to listen to.
Perhaps they are simply "starting" a party to see what happens and what sticks to the wall or who puts up money.

If Falcon is involved, it will be hard to get people to buck up as he stiffed BC United for a lot of financial donations.

As our local politcal scene is fast becoming Americanized, there will be no room for a 3rd party, which is regrettable because about one third of the voters will bot vote, because there is no politcal party to reflect their views.

And look what the 2 party system has done to the USA!
