Unofficial Opposition

Non official leaders of the opposition should NOT be on this list. If I could figure out how to edit the table properly I'd do it myself. Nickjbor (talk) 01:18, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MacPhail

She was the Leader of the Opposition in the 37th parliament. If you check hansard as early as July 25, 2001, the Speaker refers to her as such. She is also listed as the Leader of the Opposition on her profile on the BC legislature website. It also was displayed on televised broadcasts that she was the Leader of the Opposition. The title does not depend on the party having official party status.

Christy Clark/Rich Coleman

The current leader should likely be changed to Rich Coleman (interim leader) once Clark's resignation is official on August 4 [1]. The question is should she still be listed as an opposition leader of should we just strike her from the list all together? As the government fell a number of weeks ago, and is not set to resume until September, she will have never attended the legislature as the Leader of the Opposition. Should we count her as a "Leader of the Opposition" or not?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 23:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because the legislature began on June 22.
