But Stewart Prest also sees winds ‘blowing’ against left-of-centre governments

A B.C. political scientist says it is “pretty unlikely” the Conservative Party of B.C. and B.C. United will merge at this stage, but does not rule out some form of co-operation.

“Up until this point, they have been trying to occupy quite distinct spaces on the politicial spectrum,” he said. “The have really felt quite comfortable being the voice of what are sometimes referred to the ‘Skeptics of Modernity.’ This is a place for people, who are skeptical about anything from vaccines to concerns about SOGI curriculum to concerns about the mainstream understandings of climate change and the need for action on climate change.

Yet both parties are speaking with each other — albeit through emissaries behind the scenes — while attacking each other publicly on hot-button issues like abortion. Rustad said people are allowed to have their own opinion, when asked about Scrase’s comments, adding his party won’t open the abortion debate in B.C.
