Moore said while campaigning for B.C. United last fall, it became apparent through a "number of the individuals in our constituency and key people that the B.C. United flag wasn't going to carry the day for us."

On X, B.C. United wrote Moore "had fundamental differences" with the party "in terms of not competing against the B.C. Conservatives and defending B.C. United from criticisms levied by political opponents. "

I understand the reason; if they join forces, they’ve got a higher probability of winning against the NDP… but look no further than just south of the border and it’s clear the us-vs-them two-party system draws out the worst polarizing side of people. We really should stride for at least three parties so we can come up with fitting solutions to problems as opposed to “I get what I want and you go pound sand”.
