Christy Clark to resign as leader of BC Liberal party next week
Quote:
Christy Clark is resigning as the leader of the BC Liberal party, effective Friday August 4.
...
Rich Coleman will be the Liberal Party interim leader.
Clark will also be stepping down as MLA for Kelowna-West.
...
CKNW contributor Vaughn Palmer says Horgan now has six months to call a by-election.
“And the New Democrats now have an extra seat in the house and extra margin, because the Liberals are down to not 43, they’ll be down to 42,” added Palmer.
“Horgan can leave that seat vacant until January, the earliest he has to call a by-election, which means that the entire Liberal strategy that, ‘oh, we’re gonna be 44 and 43 and the government will fall, Clark’s thrown that under the bus as well’.”
