Stuart Parker was a gold star leftist—he's working with the BC Conservatives now
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Stuart Parker. Stuart was the leader of the BC Green Party from 1993 to 2000 (and had been the founder and spokesperson of the party's youth wing, the Young Greens, from 1988 to 1992) and was the acting leader of the BC Ecosocialists, a
party “further left than the NDP, greener than the greens,” in 2020. After leaving the Greens, he joined the NDP, until he was ousted in 2018. Stuart has subject to a seemingly endless mass cancellation across the left, namely on account of his public challenges to trans activism and defenses of women fighting for their sex-based rights.
This year, in what might have seemed an unprecedented turn to those not paying attention to the direction the left has taken, Stuart joined the BC Conservative Party.
Today, Stuart runs the Los Altos Institute, a left-wing think tank, and has been living in Tanzania.He is the author of a newly released book of essays.
