NDP now losing Vancouver - False Creek by 400 votes. NDP was ahead for a while. Can't seem to be able to get rid of Sullivan.

They won't count absentee/early votes until much later. i don't think we'll get a winner tonight.

Stay awake until the 22nd, sleep deprivation psychosis is probably the best way to understand BC politics anyway.

CBC just projected a minority government. CTV did it earlier. Almost all the too close to call ridings are going Liberal with NDP/Greens getting more votes combined.

If I was a political consultant, I would tell any client who came to me asking how to get elected as a small-l liberal to run as a right wing candidate and then cross the floor the second you're seated because you'll just get ratfucked by vote splitting otherwise. EDIT: Also be prepared to work your rear end off to get as much poo poo as you can done in a single term as you can because that poo poo'll make you a one-and-done MLA/MP unless you're REALLY lucky. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:32 on May 10, 2017 |

If you would have taken even half of the Green votes in each riding and applied to the NDP, we would have had an NDP majority called soon after the polls closed. First Past The Post is a bad system, and the Greens are giving Christy Clark another mandate.

If they're serious about their priorities being proportional representation and donations, I can see the Liberals conceding on the latter but not the former, whereas the NDP is supposedly planning to do both.

Greens promised proportional representation, NDP promised a PR referendum with full government campaigning for 'Yes'. Let's do this, motherfuckers. Like, first thing out of the gate before the government falls to petty bickering. In a non-ridiculous world, the importance of this one issue to the future of both parties would be able to hold a Green-NDP coalition together until it's in the bag. Not grabbing this chance would be hilariouly incompetent.

NDP partisans itt: "The Greens are just progressive conservatives - Liberals who care about the environment. But also they are vote splitting us! Obviously if the Green Party didn't exist, these Liberals would obviously vote for the NDP, not the Liberals. We are entitled to their votes and they are loving us." *votes for party of climate change denial with no serious plans to kill or even discourage fossil fuel use* *tries to paint people who refuse to do so as anti-science fringe wackos, WiFi etc.* Well, I'm pretty hopeful. This has the potential to be the best drat result possible if Weaver can make the NDP do PR with no referendum and prevent the anti environment poo poo like eliminating road tolls. Or maybe Weaver will be a giant rear end in a top hat and support the Liberals. Who knows! I'm hoping all his anti-NDP campaigning was just for show, but maybe he really is that big of a jackass.

I think the parties in BC are a horrible clusterfuck of weird proud property owner or soon to be property owner politics that are separated by varying levels of racism. There are no good politicians in bc and the only real choice is to laugh at how uniquely retarded each of them are.

Greens came second in my riding (WV-S2S). I voted green, they were obviously the better "ABC" vote in this riding (the NDP candidate was a nursing student who didn't bother showing up to the debate here because she had an exam the next day). If the people who actually paid attention to the riding instead of just voting NDP as the anti-Clark vote had voted green, we'd have been the 4th green party seat. The Liberal vote here went from 53% to 42%. But yeah, the left-wing vote splitting in BC is super lovely and we're going to have Liberal governments forever thanks to it.

My fave (Hassan Yussuf) is annoyingly still not running even though everyone expected him to throw his hat in the ring like last year already and his positions would definitely be good to drag the party back to the left where it belongs.
