Defections Continue as Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA McInnis Quits B.C. Conservatives
McInnis said staffing decisions and concerns about the leader’s team made him unable to support the party’s current direction.
- On Wednesday, Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Scott McInnis announced he is leaving the Conservative Caucus to sit as an Independent, citing concerns about party leadership.
- Criticizing Kerry-Lynne Findlay's leadership, McInnis cited "decisions about staffing, senior appointments, caucus relations and the direction of the organization" as his primary concerns.
- McInnis is the seventh BCC MLA to leave in the past three weeks, following Boundary-Similkameen MLA Donegal Wilson's resignation earlier today.
- He characterized the party as an "exclusive private club" more concerned with ideology than building the broad coalition needed to defeat the NDP and serve British Columbians.
- His conservative values—including responsible fiscal management and free enterprise—remain unchanged as McInnis plans to communicate more with constituents in the near future.
