A third member of the BC Conservative Party called it quits on Tuesday.
Rosalyn Bird announced that she is walking away from the Conservatives, joining MLAs Ian Paton and Peter Milobar as recent defectors.
Bird said in a statement that it was a difficult decision and that one of her reasons for leaving was due to political infighting.
She is the third MLA to leave the BC Conservatives in less than two weeks.

Two hours later, Bird announced her decision to sit as an independent.

“There have been no policy changes. So while some may have made decisions on their own or wanting to be the leader, I do remind people this party is robust.”
How many more Undependents need to bolt the crazed confines of Fiddley’s MAGA freak show before they become the Opposition? David Eby must not believe his luck.

The NDP is clearly to blame, persistently looking reasonable in contrast to a pack of loonies. Unfair!
