If the seats are tied, do the Liberals get the first chance to form government as the incumbent or is it up to the Lieutenant Governor?

I asked this earlier and apparently the Green Party leader gets to pick?

Technically the Lieutenant Governor can do whatever they want. It's a personal judgement call, no doubt backroom talks would be involved prior to a decision.

If greens support the liberals do they not gently caress themselves in the next election, or is there a lot of green/liberal overlap?

So if Weaver does end up supporting the Liberals then a lot of Green voters are going to be pretty pissed... right? I don't think they voted to keep Clark in power.

You'd think it would be an issue, especially since realistically, the Liberals are going to do SOMETHING dumb within a year or so that Weaver's going to have a hard time supporting, especially if it's some kind of environmental disaster. I imagine there's someone in the party with some kind of authority who'd advocate for cutting a deal with the desperate NDP.

I don't even understand what the Green party in BC is. Are they just the ones that got lucky enough to be the first to call themselves that and gather attention/votes solely on having the 'Green' branding? Who are these people

Quite literally Progressive Conservatives.

Neocons who also happen to care for the environment.
