   The party was formed from the members of two right wing parties which were    
   collapsing through infighting.  The majority came from the rightwing Social    
   Credit Party of W.A.C. Bennett - a Conservative.

   In early 1994, Gordon Campbell was elected to the legislature in a    
   by-election. Under his leadership, the party began moving to the right. Some    
   supporters of the federal Reform Party of Canada and former Social Credit    
   members became attracted to the BC Liberals.

   B.C. Liberal to seek federal Tory nomination   
      
   VICTORIA - A member of Premier Christy Clark's Liberal caucus wants to run for    
   the Tories in this year's federal election.   
      
   Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton says he will seek the federal Conservative    
   nomination in the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission riding.   
      
   The spot is currently held by MP Randy Kamp, who recently announced he will    
   not be running this year.   
      
   Dalton, who was elected to the provincial legislature in 2009, says he is not    
   running away from the B.C. Liberals and will continue to support the party.   
      
   He says he will sit as an Independent in the legislature and plans to return    
   to the Liberal caucus if he does not win the nomination.   
      
   Meanwhile, B.C. New Democrats Mable Elmore and Jenny Kwan are seeking the    
   federal NDP nomination in the Vancouver East riding, but will continue to sit    
   provincially until the nomination is decided.
