 | Party leader Robert Thompson was frustrated by the lack of support given to the federal wing, while the provincial Social Credit parties in Alberta and British Columbia ran powerful political machines and formed the governments. |

| The party failed to nominate at least fifty candidates for the 1993 election, and was deregistered by Elections Canada on September 27, 1993. |

| The British Columbia Social Credit Party, whose members are known as Socreds, was the governing political party of British Columbia, Canada, for more than 30 years between the 1952 provincial election and the 1991 election. |
| For three decades, the party dominated the British Columbian political scene, with the only break occurring between the 1972 and 1975 elections when the New Democratic Party of British Columbia was in power. |
| Although the party was ostensibly the British Columbia wing of the Canadian social credit movement, Bennett added a mixture of populism and conservatism in the party. |
