NDP where big on early voting. This weather is going to be bad cor the cons.

Badhobz 10-19-2024 04:32 PM

Yeah it was empty inside. Completely dead.

One more check for conservatives ! Go peeeee peeeeee you fucking non Trudeau choice… god if there was a valid communist party I’d check that instead.

JDMDreams 10-19-2024 07:02 PM

8 pm so who won? The white guy or the old Asian guy?

Manic! 10-19-2024 07:05 PM

Multiple live streams on youtube. Here is CBC.


JDMDreams 10-19-2024 07:14 PM

Old Asian has 37 seats already

Manic! 10-19-2024 07:26 PM

it's tied right now. With the NDP and Cons leading in 45 each with greens leading in 3. the greens could be the tie breaker.

Hondaracer 10-19-2024 07:51 PM

47 for cons heheh

Support rat Eby and get bit?

It’s crazy it’s this close

Manic! 10-19-2024 08:00 PM

48 NDP 43 Con and 2 green right now. Both nanaimo seats went NDP. Super pumped about that. My local con candidate was a former NDP MLA for a year who turned con over con issues. The guy who beat her was the youngest city council member. He won well still in collage at the age of 21. Become a lawyer. Now is an MLA at the age of 35.

47 for NDP now. This is super tight

Mikoyan 10-19-2024 08:37 PM

NDP 46 now.

Manic! 10-19-2024 09:06 PM

NDP 46 cons 45 green 2. A number of ridings within a 100 votes or so. Anything 100 votes or less will be an automatic recount. There will be no decision tonight. If no party gets 47 the greens will have a lot of power.

it's amazing that a climate change denier is this close to winning during a historic flood

leopards and faces

whitev70r 10-19-2024 09:35 PM

This is crazy ... doesn't the party with the most seats choose a speaker of the house? You can't appoint someone from your own party to be speaker now cuz you'll lose that one vote ... no?

supafamous 10-19-2024 09:43 PM

With about 95% of the votes in it looks like the Green Party voters will end up costing the NDP about 10 seats, many of them would have been easily winnable if just half the Green votes switched to the NDP.

The Producer 10-19-2024 09:47 PM

didn't even have a green candidate in my riding. i like (some) of their philosophy, but they do this shit everytime. if you can't field a full crew of candidates - you shouldn't be able to run in provincial politics. i want to like them - even support them in some ways. but it's bush league

EDIT: fuck - Sonia couldn't even keep her own seat.

They are saying the same thing about ridings where an Independent ran (formerly BC United) and took some votes from BC Cons ... the Cons could have won some of those ridings.

Hadn't looked at the Cons so I just went through the latest results and I count 3 seats the Cons would have won if there wasn't an independent (I assume this was a BC United candidate) and 8 that the NDP would have won without the Greens so a net +5 for the NDP - just enough for a slim majority (Greens would still claim 2 seats).

JDMDreams 10-19-2024 10:20 PM

So what happens if the numbers stay where they are now? No majority by 1 2 seats. Everything needs Greens to pass?:okay:

The Producer 10-19-2024 10:48 PM

if only there was some precedent - you know, some (recent) occurrence that could show us a similar circumstance and how that could play out

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_B...neral_election

pretty short memories around here

it is ironic that the liberal/cons might uno reverse card the 2017 scenario

Yep just like in 2017 and how it is federally.

GS8 10-19-2024 11:05 PM

I guess Sonia was the "Furstenau" she wouldn't have a job :alone:

StylinRed 10-20-2024 04:24 AM

Can't believe that racist Chapman won Surrey South easily

supafamous 10-20-2024 06:50 AM

Lotta Conservative voters waking up this morning realising that Trudeau is still in charge.

whitev70r 10-20-2024 07:33 AM

Too bad there isn't a centrist right party with a likeable leader. The message is loud and clear though - the NDP is not doing enough on affordability, healthcare, housing, opioid crisis, and crime.

I just couldn't cast a vote for the party with such a weird, climate change denier, anti-vaccine leader.

I still don't know why Kevin Falcon shat the bed so badly.
