Everyone loves a MILF, LOL.

Global calling a Liberal government.......... Leafs pretty much thought they would win game seven with ten minutes left in third period.

People changed their minds on the final day.

The NDP made a fundamental error by selecting Dix as leader - someone who was uninspiring and associated with the Clark years.

I feel like celebrating tonight :D

I should be too, but not at the rate of how many film/tv productions are passing BC over in favour of other provinces and states with better tax rates. :(

I'm happy to see a member of the Green Party finally elected, they really deserve it after all of these years!!

I am guessing the change the @bcndp will now be looking for is the change in leadership from @adriandix. #bcpoli #bcelxn13 @cbcnewsbc

How did the independent win? To convince an entire community to vote not for a party, but for an individual is pretty impressive.

bcrdukes 05-14-2013 08:52 PM

I can sleep easily tonight. Thank goodness.

Often times the independent candidate is well known, ie: was on the school board, prominent business owner in the community, or he or she previously ran and won under a different party or was involved in municipal politics (ex-mayors, council, etc)

How hard is to find someone who is charismatic, smart, and fresh? C'mon, even BC, brain drain and all, surely has thousands of people who could lead a political party to victory.

If someone like Christy Clark, who is despised in many parts of the province, can turn around a sinking ship, the threshold is pretty low.

also, people who voted green also took away votes from the NDP. there are a few ridings (about 4 or so), where if you took just half of the Green party votes and added those totals to the NDP vote, the NDP would have won those ridings.

pastarocket 05-14-2013 09:02 PM

-did not vote in the provincial election because I do not like either the NDP or the Liberals. For me, it would be voting for the lesser of the two evils.

There are no honest politicians. -just an oxymoron. :mad:

sonick 05-14-2013 09:04 PM

This CBC touch screen system is retarded. What's the point of having every slide pop up crooked?

Selanne_200 05-14-2013 09:04 PM

Thank god they're calling for a liberal majority!

^My prof has told us that Canada tend to vote parties out of office and not the opposite. But when comparing the 2 evils, I'm glad NDP lost

sonick 05-14-2013 09:05 PM

Christy Clark just gained a small lead in Pt Grey

Geoc 05-14-2013 09:07 PM

Guys wtf is the excalibur party? I thought it was a Dungeons and Dragons group trying to run for government.

quasi 05-14-2013 09:08 PM

Wasn't expecting this at all but pleasantly surprised.

EmperorIS 05-14-2013 09:08 PM

come onnn suzanne antonn!!!!!!!

MG1 05-14-2013 09:10 PM

I believe the best scenario is the NDP not winning. They are best at being the official opposition. Unless the Librals really fuck up, people will never forget the NDP of the 90's. That will always haunt the NDP.

murd0c 05-14-2013 09:10 PM

I'm hoping Peter Assbender will make the upset!!

Thank you! just read my mind. Basically voting for who won't screw up the most.
