VICTORIA — Another BC United member has left the party to join the Conservative Party of BC just months before the provincial election.
Surrey South MLA Elenore Sturko says in a statement that she's joining the provincial Conservatives to "rebuild the coalition that's needed to defeat the NDP."
The Conservatives rejected a proposal last month from BC United to create a "non-competition" agreement, with Conservative Leader John Rustad and BC United Leader Kevin Falcon blaming each other for the talks' collapse. “In B.C., the big tent coalition wins elections, and has a record of delivering for British Columbians. I want to help John Rustad build that grassroots coalition of Conservatives, Liberals, and Independents into a winning team that can repair the damage caused by the NDP and their mismanagement and incompetence," Sturko says in the statement.
