UPDATE: Not who I expected to open up the floodgates – because the ones that were gleeful are still itching for their spotlight – but this is clearly a dare to Carole James to remove her from Caucus. Jenny Kwan is playing chicken with the leader, and is hoping that she gets kicked out so that the entire party will revolt (Kwan was of course 1 of 2 MLAs with Joy MacPhail who held down the fort after the 2001 BC Liberal landslide victory, and thus carries a hallowed status amongst many factions within the party). There are more waiting to make a string of announcements that are similar to Kwan’s, and instead of coming out as a group as I was first informed, they are going to stagger this process so that the bleeding never ends in the media and in the public for James.
What a mess this is turning into…I have to say that the BC Liberals have all the momentum right now, precisely because of this shortsighted and selfish politicking.

I am hearing that a bunch are going to go independent en masse, but that has yet to be confirmed. Whatever the message is going to be, the people ready to deliver it seem elated.
