As long as BC Conservative party exists and doesn’t unite with BC United aka BC Liberals aka BC Social Credit Party. The ndp will continue to win elections.

It doesn't matter what they call themselves, they only serve themselves and their biggest financial supporters imo. Smoke and mirrors.

You just described every political party out there to a T.

You have to think of your acronyms when coming up with names. Glacier has a good graphic for why this was an unfortunate choice of name.

Absolutely, governments for the people by the people are long gone. They don't care about our wealth or our health, connect the dots and do the opposite of what they promote as "good for us".

Of course it is. But it shows the silliness of people being offended. That is, if she really was offended and not trying to score points.

They blame the NDP for the fact that they did not figure out what the acronym for the BC United party was? Remember the Canadian Reform Alliance Party? The P in NDP stands for Party the P in CRAP stood for Party. The P in BCUP stands for the fact they they never took the time to string the letters together. Don't blame the NDP for your failures. Although that is nothing new is it.

Name a political party that does not support its financial supporters? We await your reply. The NDP supports unions and puts legislation in place to support them. The BCUP puts in place legislation that makes it harder to join a union or for unions to do their job which supports their biggest supporters, big business.

Thanks to her stupid post she made sure that from now on the Liberal party of BC is going to be known as the BCUPs. First they did not think what the anacronym would be then they point it out to all and sundry what it actually is.
