| The Official 2017 Provincial Election Thread
Hey, cause we're all like minded when it comes to politics eh? 
Yourrrrrrr contenderssssssssss:
The always abrasive, socially inept leader of the NDPPPPPPPP
JOHHNNNNNN HORGANNNNNN! 
And in this corner... she'll sell your kids out for a barrel of oil, it's CHRISTYYYYYY CLARKKKKKK! 
Dont see the NDP taking over unless people actually vote on the issues they've been complaining about for the past 10 years. IE. Housing affordability, School funding, Jobs, the 'LNG' pipe dream etc.
With some similarities to the American election the opposition in the NDP was finally in a position to make a move and with a solid platform should have easily been able to sway the opinion of the BC voter into getting rid of the liberal party. However, i think, once again, they've put an abrasive, unperson-able, leader in place and have produced little substance in terms of a plan to combat the Lib's heavy last minute vote buying in the forms of MSP cuts, Balanced budgets, housing action plans, Ride sharing initiatives, etc. etc.
In so many recent interviews I've heard the members of the opposition simply twist words into nothing of substance for come-backs when asked how their plan would differ in the policies in place by the libs. When asked about their budget they simply put it off until the liberals release their own then restructure their plan as to look stronger based on the already public liberal plan.
Dont see Crusty losing this one.

The NDP should just go crazy with the lies if they want any chance of winning. Tell everyone they get a free house if they vote for them, people are that dumb. Shit, most people forget about the housing crisis when Uber is dangled in front of their face.

Liberals by a landslide this time. Not because they are the good choice, but because there isnt any other choice. The only people voting NDP are going to be public union workers.
And social media will be blowing up with anti Liberal nonsense like the anti Conservative and anti Trump campaigns from the ADD clickbait millenials

liberals have been in power too long, but the ndp is simply not a viable alternative.
when even a union (ironworkers) support the liberals, you know the ndp is a joke.

There are far too many people, myself included, who remember the NDP of the 90's and will never give them a chance. Their nearsightedness in siding with a certain NIMBY/Environmentalist group, in a dirty attempt to protect a park, actually caused its rapid degradation, which in turn harmed a community of properties, my family's included. For this, I will never vote for them.
They should just dissolve the party. Maybe the moderates of the party can join with defectors of the Liberals and form a new party while the far lefties can join the Greens.

I think if the NDP went all out trump style populist and declare war on foreigners they will have a chance. Raising foreign tax to 30%+ or ban real estate all together. I suspect there are a lot of closet anti-foreigners in BC.

Can't vote for Clark again... don't know what to do.
Horgan is a terrible choice as leader. NDP should have ran David Eby, the guy would have won in a landslide. Why can't the NDP ever have a personable and well liked leader? Adrian Dix? You can hear that British Columbian's want change, but as usual, there is nothing on offer.

Because NDP has 2 factions.. 1 progressive / environmental, the other old labour, ie nurses, school workers, taxis etc. Both factions keep fighting (while the world moves on).. Take a look at the policy difference between Vancouver and Burnaby especially in housing. One marginally care, the other just razes all the low cost rental stock.
Oh then you have a sub section that just like fighting loosing battles eg the Vision school board.
You want Eby on board? Why not sign up for a NDP membership and vote him in? You even get a tax write off.
You don't get to pick unicorn if the menu only has beef and fish and you gave up your right to craft the menu. Quote:
