Fresh from two by-election losses on April 19 amid the continuing unpopularity of Premier Christy Clark, the B.C. Liberal Party is desperately searching for a way to prolong its grasp on power in British Columbia.
Meanwhile NDP leader Adrian Dix positions himself as Premier-in-waiting and Conservative leader John Cummins could become leader of the opposition.
Should they co-opt the old Social Credit name to rejuvenate the free enterprise coalition? Should they call it the Pacific Dogwood Party, after the provincial flower? Or just simply call the whole thing "Gordon," for the first names of ex-leaders Gordon Gibson, Gordon Wilson and Gordon Campbell? (Maybe they could adopt the red, white and blue ball icon from the Barenaked Ladies' "Gordon" album as a symbol of the liberal/conservative coalition?)
The best, most creative suggestion for a monicker makeover wins a personalized copy of my new e-book, Red Mittens & Red Ink: The Vancouver Olympics. Deadline is noon PDT on May 12.
The winner will be announced May 14, which is, coincidentally, the one-year countdown to the next scheduled provincial election.

And in French
"Parti fosse publique"
Good Day
How about the BC Republicans?
I would enter your contest, but I would have to use obscene words, so I'll pass. Although without cursing, BC ReThugs sounds kinda good! I must admit though, I wash my grandkid's mouth out with soap if they say Republican or Santorum.
'LIEBERAL' would be too easy even though most appropriate.
'WANNABEES' as in Harper wannabee, or Corporate wannabee,...
'REPUGNANT'party of BC
'SOCIOPATHIC' party...
My nomination:
Christy Clark's Corporate Cartel Coalition.
Social Deficit Party
Deformed Party of BC
Crispy's Critters
How about:
"Net Zero for you - whatever I want for me Party"
or the famous rebranding disaster of Coke years ago:
"The BC Liberal Classic Party"
"Who cares"
Alternative:
"The Party Formerly Known as Government."
Social Credit Alliance Liberal Party...or SCALP.
@Unknown wins for “The Party Formerly Known as Government.”
I suggest: Republican Party
BC 1% Party
@1800GOTJUKVan submits the following entries:
Liberally Conservative Party
Right On! Party
Big Cons Party aka B. C. Party
FiIGHT for the RIGHT 2 Party
That's all I got.
PS: give us a follow on twitter. We're the home of the world famous #GotJUNKoftheDAY.
How about the Friends In Business Buying Economic Reign (FIBBER) party -- it adds clarity to their guiding principles, while maintaining the familiar connotations they've built with the LIEberal brand we all know and love.
How about The Crooked Asshole Party.
