Delta South MLA Ian Paton steps down from B.C. Conservatives to sit as independent

Paton is the second MLA to exit under new leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay

Two British Columbia MLAs, Ian Paton and Peter Milobar, have announced their intention to form a new political party. The MLAs, who recently defected from the provincial Conservatives, state that the party's new direction under leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay no longer aligns with their beliefs.

Paton and Milobar revealed their plans during a news conference in Victoria. They confirmed that the annual subscription fee for membership in their new party is $205.00 plus GST for one year. This fee will automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks, equivalent to a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35. The offer is available to both new and qualified returning subscribers, with the option to cancel at any time.
