Looks like Liberal majority

Not over yet.

L43
N40
G1

L42
N41

Is Christy Crunch going to win this time around? Her party won a majority, but she lost her riding, IIRC. To NDP's David Eby.


"Well That Was Easy........." I guess we'll hear that again.

Oh crap.... NDP just took the lead with 43 to 42

She was already declared elected in Kelowna

Will recounts be completed by 11pm?

I don't care about who get's in, except "I'm Bending Over Fast," Peter. I hope he gets ousted.

Crusty Clark won her riding in Kelowna

David Eby (beat Clark last election) won his riding in Vancouver-Point Grey

It's actually turning into a really tight race...

:Popcorn -worthy, indeed.

He's losing big to the NDP candidate right now

I saw the NDP candidate walking the block with some supporters in Fleetwood the other day.

To a safe riding? Or is she living there......... I don't follow politics. Too much bullshit. Smiles and Chuckles.

So as it shows right now...

NDP: 43
Liberals: 42
Green: 2

So NDP Minority with the Green party holding the balance of power? That would be a bizarre government if it sticks

Safe riding to ensure she remains the premier, it is a common practice

They were saying that the NDP has never won that seat

He just lost to the NDP candidate. NDP elected in the ridinf

A minority gov wouln't necessarily be a bad thing, even if it is a bit weird.

We will see how this one plays out.

Thank god Factbender lost his seat.
That guy was scum.

This is actually pretty good tv right now

It is really weird, because technically the Green party could support either the NDP or Liberals... whomever plays ball with some of their demands gets to be the government.

EDIT: It just flipped to a Liberal Minority, lol.... not that it matters, same situation

My riding is too close to call right now. NDP currently leads the Greens by 100 votes.

My gut tells me the Green party will win that seat as most people I know who voted in the advanced polls voted Green and they count the advanced polls last. Could go either way.

What happens if it's 42-42-3?

Edit: Down to a 14 vote NDP lead in my riding

In that case the speaker gives the first right to the incumbent premier to form government (so supported by the greens).

Technically if it stays 43L/42N/2G, the NDP could form government with the Greens, but the speaker would still recognized Christy as the premier... wouldn't that be messed up haha

2 or 3 seat minority......... hmmmmmmm. It might be the best thing ever. Christy did say she can work with anybody, hee hee.


So dissolve the government in a short time and start all over again if shit goes south? I'm not sure how provincial politics work. Same as federal?




EDIT: Okay, got it.............. in other words, more ass kissing, as opposed to ass-kicking, lol.

Whatever form of minority government takes place, I would welcome that over a Liberal majority.

The only thing is there are some big ideological differences between the Greens and other parties... I know Andrew Weaver said he can work with anybody, but I also think that he is pretty stubborn and might throw a confidence vote just to prove a point.

I don't think a minority would survive the 4 years, my guess is we will probably be back at the polls within 12~24 months

its 42-42-3 now

lol

I don't see it lasting long, either, so how the voters see things in that time will be interesting.

Any idea how voter turn out was this time around?

My riding now lead by the Greens by a slim margin. NDP done fucked up if they lose Cowichan.
