B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon says the provincial Conservatives have rejected a deal to avoid vote-splitting in the fall provincial election.

He says talks between the two right-of-centre parties concluded with B.C. Conservatives Leader John Rustad rejecting a proposed "non-competition" agreement.

Falcon says Rustad has "placed his own ambition" above B.C.'s interests and is risking the re-election of the governing NDP.

The Untied can't kick people out of the party, let those people go to Conservtives, Conservitive poll numbers go up and up, and then United want join Conservitives.

United have nothing to offer Conservatives if Conservitives under Rustad are patient enough. Falcon is in a rush for power and is trying line up with Rustad before United become irrelevent and forgotten.
