@chris Looks horrible! One can hope that continued media and public pressure on some of the worst conservative MLA will result in ejections from caucus or an internal split all leading to a no confidence vote. Political turmoil for a decade in which the Greens can build a lasting presence in BC Politics.

@chris Forgetting policies for a minute. Perhaps a premier that calls a premature election for no reason doesn't deserve to be premier, no matter how tall he is.

Let this be a lesson for other premiers who have majority and still call for premature election.

@chris At least the greens are projected to win 3 seats maybe 4 if we’re lucky.

Hopefully, the cons are just over-hyped in the polls to pressure readjustment in the bc ndp action to be more attentive to voters.

@chris

An interesting factoid these polls show: the Greens polled consistently across the time period.

Innovative & Reid (the only 2 in both) each show a fall of 2 pts. The average across pollsters falls from 12.25 to 12. Comparatively, the BCNDP change is 3.5, BCCon is 7, 1.5, and .75.

Expressed as a percentage of change,

BCNDP: - 8.2%
BCCon: +19%
Greens: -2.1%

Okay, this has absolutely no impact on the election cycle. But geeks gotta geek.

@chris

Pity that the BC NDP sabotaged #proportionalrepresentation sone years back.
