No, the BC Conservatives have no chance in winning this election...but neither do the Liberals. Having higher numbers voting for the BCC will encourage those who strategically voted this time to actually vote for who they want in the next.

Hell, look at the Federal NDP over the last 10 years...there has been a huge upswing with them and i think it is because people think it is OK to vote for them now that others are.
Strategic voting is an unfortunate side effect of the FPTP system, which as I have said before is a dinosaur (no pun intended)
