Former B.C. Conservative MLA joins NDP government
Independent MLA Amelia Boultbee, originally elected as a B.C. Conservative, crossed the floor joining the far-left NDP in British Columbia.
Originally elected as a B.C. Conservative, Independent MLA Amelia Boultbee has officially crossed the floor to join the B.C. NDP government, citing that the Conservative base wants to take the party who voted her in “further and further to the right.”
Boultbee resigned from the B.C. Conservative party last year while the party’s first leader John Rustad was still in office. She has also taken shots at the new party leader Kerry Lynne-Findlay accusing her of being elected by a base drawn to “Donald Trump-style populism.”
