And you thought we were done with him and his?
Ha!
BC United says it will run a select number of candidates in the Oct. 19 election after suspending its province-wide campaign to support the B.C. Conservative Party.
The number of candidates and their names or ridings have not yet been announced.
The move is intended to ensure BC United remains a registered political party with Elections B.C., executive director Lindsay Cote said in a letter to members on Friday.
On Aug. 28, BC United Leader Kevin Falcon suspended the party’s campaign and released his candidates; many of them learned about the decision from the media.
The “gut-wrenching” decision was made to defeat the NDP and secure “a free-enterprise victory” in the provincial election, said Cote, adding the move did not “fold our party or erase our organization.”
By running some candidates, BC United will later be able to have a thorough discussion with its membership about the future of the party, she said. “If there is a desire within our membership to rebuild the party, and a plausible path to do so, we want to be in a position to act on this,” said Cote...

The pull quote, above, is the lede from a story by Cindy Harnett, who has been doing good work following the twists and turns of the Soccer Party's recent machinations, in last Saturday's Times-Colonist.
Of course, Marky Mark thinks this is all a conspiracy to keep the true and good liberals of British Columbia (i.e. those who willingly got into bed with the Campbelleros and jumped at the chance to be a part of Clarklandia for fifteen years straight) down ...Or some such thing.
Earworm in the sub-header?...This.

Throw The Third Switch!!!!!
WTF! The bird hasn't a clue that the public hate him and his Gordon Campbell/MAGA clone party?
"Have you had enough" Falcon is a bird whose time is long past and is nothing more than a "cooked goose".
More candidates the better. FPTP works very well with a vote split.
GF--
Wouldn't that be the fourth switch (at least)?

I suspect that Mr. Falcon has made a deal that will take him out the fire and into the gravy(train)...The real question is - Will those who made the deal actually honour it?

RossK ok NOT THE THIRD SWITCH!
Cover the bottom right of that poster with a “CFAX1070” sticker and you’ve got an ad for a new gig.

"...One or two people deciding which parties people can vote for is not democracy..."
Hard to argue with that. However, it was a pretty small group of super-fine people who breech-birthed the Campbellero version of Soccer Party in the first place.

GF--
In going back to brush up on what happened to Gordon Wilson's Soccer party, I relearned about all the tangential switches that were thrown in the early-to-mid '90's as the Socred brand went down and the Reformerista's emerged followed later by the emergence of the PDA after the money men with a taste for railway ties backed the Campbellero takeover of the Soccer party.

Lew - hadn't heard about that. Is it for real?
.
No. Feeble attempt at a joke.
Got it!
Thanks Lew...Truth be told, for a at least a minute or ten I was looking forward to the reaction of a certain cynically cretinous morning man when he was told that the Birdman was taking over his time slot.
