Butler said the language Borsak used was “indefensible” and that he would not condone references of violence towards anyone. The vote among more than 20 branches proposed changing two of the party’s four executive positions, currently held by Borsak’s son and a friend, however it ultimately failed.“I said the future of the party wasn’t tenable without change. We didn’t get change. That’s what has led to the decision made over the weekend that we would step aside and run as independents,” Butler said.
