| | British Columbia Liberal Party: Information From Answers.com |
| | In 1972, the party was led into the election by a new leader, David Anderson, who had been elected in the 1968 federal election as a federal Liberal MP. | | | This loss was generally seen to be as a result of the uncomfort that some of the electorate had with the more conservative policies that had been adopted by the party. | | | In order to prevent the British Columbia CCF from winning in a three party competition, the government introduced instant-runoff voting, with the expectation that Conservative voters would list the Liberals as their second choice and vice versa. |
