Another right-wing party in New Brunswick? Maybe

New Brunswick may be about to get another right-wing political party. At least one member of the Progressive Conservative Party says new leader Daniel Alain's comments show he's not conservative enough. The PC members chose an individual who truly believes in a progressive, socially progressive party and a fiscally conservative party. Now it's even the socially progressive PCNB, Which, for a lot of the regular Tories, we're not socially progressive We're just conservative-minded, we're fiscally responsible Purdy says his party will be centre-right Extreme elements are not welcome and racism and bigotry will not be tolerated He's calling it the New Brunswick Party and it even has a logo And yes, you have seen this movie before There was the anti-bilingualism core party in the late 1980s CORE eventually fell apart, then the People's Alliance came along, won seats in two elections, then it stalled too, leading to this. Myself and my teammate Michelle Conroy will be joining the Progressive Conservative Party. Austin says now yet another new party would be counterproductive. Conservatives, what Liberals do well is they fight behind the scenes and they come out united. What Conservatives don't do so well is fighting in front of everybody. and we've got to learn to to have our disagreements get some common ground and move forward on a united front so we haven't split the vote we're just taking a vote that Daniel didn't want so if he doesn't want them to vote for him we have to have an option so this will be an option for them Purdy has a plan register the party and then if there's a by-election that Daniel Alain runs in run a candidate against him and defeat him which would then convince the PCs to get rid of him as leader so that they could unite the right again parties come and go in New Brunswick uh the PC party is very strong we have uh 5600 members that participated in the the leadership over 4 000 voted i'm i'm leader of one party i'll take care of my party you're not concerned they'll take votes away from you no i did jump to no not whatsoever Bertie says other well-known conservatives are interested in his party but they're waiting to see how it goes and what kind of traction it gets before they go public.
