Steven Cope: ‘Kealy, I challenge you to resign and run as an independent in a by-election’

With the greatest of respect, I find your decision to abdicate your responsibilities as an elected member of the official opposition to flounder in the winds shameful. 

Rumour has it that another Conservative party is being contemplated.  That decision will ruin this great province beyond repair. 

Mr. Eby and his ilk are devoid of moral authority, economic prowess and any other measurable indicator of responsible government.

I ask you to cast your mind back on the last election: but for a certain and very few number of sitting MLAs who ran as independents, we would not be beholden to more years of wanton destruction of our culture and our economy.

You were bullied. So what? Grow up.  You were elected as a member of a party. I am quite confident the people of Peace River North rejected an independent (Dan Davies) who has more experience than you.  They voted for the party.

I am asking and challenging you to stand aside, resign and run against a new candidate. You as an independent, someone else as a member of the B.C. Conservative party.  If you win, then so be it.  However, the choice needs to be ours and not yours.
