B.C. Premier David Eby says NDP ready to deal with possible merger between BC United, Conservatives

British Columbia’s election campaign was unofficially launched on Thursday, five months ahead of the Oct. 19 vote, with Premier David Eby depicting it as “the starkest choice of a generation,” between the NDP and two opposition parties flirting with a merger.

“Well, I’ve got a message for these lobbyists and John Rustad and Kevin Falcon, the next election will be decided at the kitchen table, not the board room table.” However, he said he was consistently approached by people who say, “can you please, please don’t allow an NDP government to be re-elected on the basis of vote splitting.”

Falcon said he was committed to doing whatever he could to prevent an NDP re-election, but a merger with the B.C. Conservatives is “problematic.” Rustad also said talks between the two parties had occurred recently, but the B.C. Conservatives plan to run candidates in each of the province’s 93 ridings in the fall.

“There’s some people who have talked at a backroom level between the two parties about there being some sort of opportunity,” Rustad said. “I’m always open to having conversations because obviously we want to bring everybody together we can to defeat this NDP government in October, but as far as the Conservative Party stands we will be running 93 candidates in this next election.”
