'I'm lyin' in bed (with half the caucus), just like Gordon Wilson did....'

A former BC Liberal wants to bring back the Progressive Democratic Alliance.



'The PDA disappeared after its leader, Gordon Wilson, crossed the floor to join the NDP government of the day.'



The PDA started when Wilson was bullied out of the leadership of the BC Liberals by Gordon Campbell. The entire PDA legislative caucus was Wilson and his girlfriend, another former Liberal MLA.



It was kind of like of that scene in 'Jerry Mcguire' when Rene Zwelliger decides to follow Tom Cruise out of the office, but Tom Cruise was never put in charge of the Fast Ferries project.



As far as political brands go in this province, the PDA probably has as much ring as Coleco or Commodore. On the other hand, when the Sons of Socreds (ie. the Fiberals) eventually crash and burn, they might have another place to stage a hostile takeover.
