Social Credit was not a factor in the 1949 BC election and in fact had split into three competing parities. These are two of the nine Social Credit League candidates - the Social Credit Party ran 7 candidates and the Union of Electors ran 12. Eric Martin ran again in 1952 and was elected to become one of the 19 MLAs that formed the first Socred government in BC.
The platform of the Social Credit League is interesting because it advocates for electoral reform and independent unions but at the same time against the government hospital insurance program
