Falcon acknowledged Tuesday talks are underway behind the scenes between the two right-of-centre parties, including exploring the possibility of merger-type options.

“We have to put aside our own egos, our own party issues – everything else – and just figure out whether there’s common ground, we can keep in mind the most important objective, which is making sure that we don’t end up with another NDP government,” said Falcon.

A source with the BC Conservatives told CTV News that Gordon Campbell has been asked to represent Kevin Falcon and BC United in behind-the-scenes discussions to see if a deal or common ground can be found between the two parties.

    Well this is disconcerting. I can’t believe we might lose the best government we’ve had in like 40 years because of this.

    I’m disappointed, BC.

      The BC LiberalSoCreds vs the Cons? It’s two constituent parties against one, so … maybe?

      Hey. Between the three of them maybe they can devise an actual platform.

    Falcon is partisan establishment, Rustad is principaled, United have nothing to offer if Rustad will wait 4 years until a BC Conservative majority with the rabid loonies in opposition, United will not mean anything.
