Sometimes in BC it seems like we just trade scandals between the center-left Libs, and the farther Left NDP. What would be fun is if we just got sick of both, cut out the middle-men, and went straight right to left - Green versus Cons. Now that would be worth the price of admission.
Being Conservative I'm grateful for this current stir. It may give us another incremental tick upwards in credibility.

Several months after the election of Christy Clark as leader of the Liberal Party, and her subsequent swearing in as premier, the Conservatives once again saw a significant increase in support at the expense of the Liberals.[11][12]
The party held a leadership convention on May 28, 2011, and former Conservative Party of Canada Member of Parliament John Cummins was acclaimed leader.[13][14] After dropping into single digits after Campbell's resignation the Conservatives have consistently polled above 10 per cent in the last half of 2011, reaching as high as 23 per cent.[15]
The BC Conservatives have been gaining supporters, including from Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. According to Falcon, "a number of my supporters that may have done that and I’m not entirely surprised."[16]
On March 26, 2012, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen announced that he was leaving the BC Liberals to join the BC Conservatives,[17] providing the party with its first representative in the legislature since 1986. Recently, John van Dongen switched to independent status after the re-election of John Cummins as leader of the BC Conservative Party.[18][19]
