text: Christy Clark is actually a federal liberal so I think at heart she isn't very right wing, but she is more an opportunist (I say as someone who would have voted for her had I lived in BC for six months) and simply goes wherever she thinks helps her most.  Had she stuck to being a federal Liberal, many BC Liberals would have gone over to the BC Conservatives splitting the right and guaranteeing an NDP win.  I suspect if she was in Ontario, you would see a very different Christy Clark.  Unlike Gordon Campbell, who like or dislike, I don't think she is that strong in principles whereas at least he was.  Some politicians stick to their views but many just run on whatever they think advances their career most.  Now you are right her government most certainly is not a Red Tory one.  As for mentioning Clark though, there is another Clark, namely Joe Clark who is a Red Tory.
