Today,
in the mail, I received a letter from the BC Conservative Party that in part
stated, “… your application for membership in the BC Conservative Party has not
been accepted at this time …”
No explanation … no opportunity for recourse … and no opportunity to address the BC Conservative Party Board Of Directors and Executive.

I was asked by a member of the
Metro-Vancouver area what this might be about; I messaged back saying:
I asked to have my membership in the party to be removed when a former board / exec make up decided in the spring to reinstate the memberships, and offered apologies, to the dissidents that had essentially destroyed the BC Conservative Party through a coordinated campaign that left the party in a shambles prior to the 2013 election.

It now seems ironic
that in asking to have my membership reinstated, I have been denied, for what
can only be thought of as a vendetta against me for having the tenacity to call
them out on this, and for a lack of leadership in building the party,
communicating with the membership on goals it wishes to pursue (and instead
asks for every dwindling donations), and for failing miserably in clearly
articulating why people should consider the BCCP.
They have offered
nothing, and as a result the party is not even considered by the media when
questions of BC politics arise, they have practically non-existent support with
voters, and a pile of debt.
I, and others, have
put forward ideas and suggestions that could change this, however they have
been rejected. Case in point? I offer
this:
Regardless, and despite being declared a
member not welcome, I will continue to support and promote a TRUE BC Conservative
option for the people of BC.
The Party can ONLY be revived through the will of the members through the grassroots. This is because the current Board of Directors has been unable, for whatever reason(s), to offer a reason for being that can and will ignite the passions of British Columbians.
Stayed tuned as I will be presenting thoughts of my own of policy ideas. I will certainly welcome your comments on them, and freely accepting suggestions for improvement.

You would be a major asset for any party, not taking you as a member is nuts especially when the BC Conservatives are going nowhere.
ReplyDeleteIf I thought there was any chance the fit would work I would recruit you for the BC Greens.
Thanks Bernard :)
