Leader Kevin Falcon says 'there's a huge amount of confusion out there' when it comes to the party's name change.
After months of resistance, BC United Leader Kevin Falcon appears to have come around to what has been obvious to others for many months now: the renaming of his party has not been successful.
Falcon was referring to an internal poll of his party members, in which almost one-third admitted they didn’t know BC United used to be the BC Liberals. The move is a reversal by Falcon, who has for many months resisted any suggestion that the United name change failed to stick. But it comes after several months of collapsing support.
The current situation is so bad, why wouldn’t United try to add a few percentage points of support back into the collapsing tent, by dusting off the old moniker?Changing the Liberal name was a cornerstone of Falcon’s leadership campaign in February 2022. Party members voted 80 per cent to approve the idea in November 2022, at his urging, and it became official in April 2023.
