Conservative commentator and advocate Aaron Gunn says the rejection of his application to run in the BC Liberals’ leadership contest goes against party members’ democratic rights to choose their own leader.

“It’s an affront to democracy,” Gunn told The Epoch Times, adding that the rejection is an example of elites “thinking that they know better than their own party’s membership.”
