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.

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 Quote:

They were saying that the NDP has never won that seat

We will see how this one plays out.

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

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.

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

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?
