NDP - 38%
BC Conservatives - 34%
BC United (formerly BC Liberals) - 16%
Greens - 11%

Kevin Falcon is probably regretting changing the name and turfing Rustad.

It will be interesting to see how the NDP deal, or not, with this issue. It might help them in the polls if they get it right.

Nope, we’re f*cked. Eby jumped ahead 15% as preferred leader and NDP support is growing. I don’t know what it will take to toss these dough heads out of office …

Eliminate the CON/BCU vote split.

I wish.

Without the corporate donations that were available in the 1990’s, Howe Street can’t starve the two parties like they did last time to force a “merger”.

 

[WestIsle]

Eliminate the CON/BCU vote split.

A more palpable solution may be to run both parties like the Liberals/Nationals in Australia. Let the Conservatives run outside of the two major metro populations while the BCU runs for those city seats only.

How do you propose to get those two parties to agree to that?

I’d like to see how this poll maps out riding by riding here in BC. Now the BC Conservatives are leading the provincial NDP according to MSR.

And here it is: potential Conservative bare majority in BC with BC Greens and BC United wiped out.

That is interesting. Some of those ridings flipping Conservative should have the Federal Parties worried, too…

I hear tell though, that the British Columbia People’s Front is okay with it…

Apparently in the Question Period, Eby will answer questions from the BC Conservatives but not from the official opposition BC United.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
