The BC Conservatives now have a seat, should we add them to the infobox?

John Rustad has crossed the floor to sit as a BC Conservative.[1] In the past we have included parties in the infobox if they have a seat in the legislature/parliament. Recent examples are the federal Greens (2011, 2015, and 2021) and People's Party (2019). We also included New Blue and Ontario Party in the infobox for the 2022 Ontario general election article prior to the election (though they were subsiquently removed when they failed to win a seat or obtain 5% of the vote in the election). I have WP:Boldly added the Conservatives to the infobox. Please WP:BRD as appropriate. If you revert, I would ask you to comment out the Conservative infobox fields instead of removing them entirely, while we discuss. Thanks.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 23:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Main article picture

Kevin Falcon's picture leads the article, and he is the opposition leader today. David Eby is the Premiere of BC, and his picture should be at the top of the page. 72.74.55.241 (talk) 18:55, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Eby's picture is first, so not sure what the issue is. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@Joeyconnick no Falcon's picture is the main page photo. It should be replaced with Eby's. 72.74.55.241 (talk) 19:47, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
@Joeyconnick It is on the mobile version, you are correct it is not on the desktop version. 72.74.55.241 (talk) 19:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
This is a fairly common oddity around the wiki, and as far as I can tell, it's something to do with the software — not an editor's decision. I really have no idea what causes the wiki software to choose which image to use as the preview and I'm not sure there's anything we can do to fix it on our end. — Kawnhr (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

BC United Colour

Looks like we have two to choose from between teal and pink. My preference would be teal to match the BC Legislature diagram. TDK1881 (talk) 05:09, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

This is being currently discussed in a couple of places: Template talk:Canadian party colour and Talk:British Columbia United. — Kawnhr (talk) 16:09, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
