Why not BC Conservatives?

Some people question why anyone should consider supporting the BC Conservative Party because it might split the free enterprise vote and allow the NDP to win a majority in the next provincial election. That might be true but it won't be because of the Conservatives, it will be be the fault of Campbell, Christy et al.
Liberals, under Christy and Gordo have taken several giant strides away from any suggestion that they are acting in the interest of senior citizens and low income earners in B.C. or anyone else who is not a friend of the government.
Throwing the rascals out on their collective ears would serve them right and doa service to the province even if it means enduring Adrian Dix in the Premier's office for a few years. We`ve had NDP governments in the past and the world didn`t come to an end and it won`t under Dix.
The B.C. Conservatives could win enough seats to become the official opposition and even become government within two terms of office.
If that takes place, will we see a move by provincial Liberals to emulate their federal counterparts by merging with the NDP?
Liberal strategy has always been and will remain doing whatever is necessry to gain power and to remain in power even if it requires abandonment of any principles or ethics they ever possessed.
The solution to that sort of moral issue is to not vote for them. A vote for the B.C. Conservatives means a return to ethical government.
