Today Interim Leader of the BC Conservatives Lorne Doerkson changed his story on his leadership yet again, contradicting his party's past acknowledgement that a constitutional change was needed, which requires a two-thirds vote of members at a General Meeting.

Doerkson said on CKNW this morning that the party board could make him leader without a membership vote:

Mike Smyth: So I just spoke to Niki Sharma, of course, the NDP attorney general, raising all kinds of questions about the legality of your leadership, you're the interim leader. What does that mean? Is there going to be a different leader if you become premier here? What's going on here? How does this work?

Lorne Doerkson: Let me be clear, if we're if I'm elected and I'm betting on it, I am going to take the premiership of this province and I certainly will not be going anywhere. We have figured out all of those legal challenges. I think they need to figure out some of their own.

Mike Smyth: Okay, so how have you figured it out? Because it says right in your own constitution, right? If you're the interim leader, you have to have a leadership contest and the interim can't run to be the permanent leader. So how are you gonna change your own Constitution? Is that what you're going to do or?

Lorne Doerkson: Now there's absolutely an opportunity for the board to put forth a resolution to make me permanent leader, but that will happen immediately following my election.

Mike Smyth: Okay so the board will make you the permanent leader?

Lorne Doerkson: Absolutely.

Mike Smyth: Okay, and does that require a vote by the party membership?

Lorne Doerkson: No, it does not.

Doerkson’s new explanation is also inconsistent with the BC Conservatives bizarre legal schemes to have an indefinite or multi-year leadership race to attempt to avoid their legal obligation to the membership.

With explanations that shift daily, why should British Columbians gamble on this chaotic party and its far-right membership?
