I guess ignorant voters are going to take away our unions, healthcare and morality.

    Possibly; polls aren’t very accurate anymore though. Everyone still needs to get out and vote; my riding which I thought was a foregone conclusion looks like it could go either way now, with a lot of people already voting early and vocally voting NDP.

    The NDP really picked a stupid fucking date to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire gap is made up of people who just hated seeing municipal and provincial signs at the same time.

    I keep expecting the NDP to rally towards the end, but so far the numbers have been steady

    I don’t think so. It’s just the BC Liberals voting base. They just keep latching onto the next “not NDP” party that crawls out from under a rock after the last one implodes.

    I think the only reason they’re polling so well is the number of disaffected previously-NDP voters starting to spur on the current government. This smells like BC politics, decade after decade.

    This is all Eby’s fault and to some degree he deserves it

    BC Liberals get 16 years of uninterrupted corruption meanwhile people spout all about how the BC NDP needs to be perfect or they will instead vote in a fascist government who will repeal the BC human rights code and finish off BC Rail once and for all.

    I’m a NDP voter he had a majority government and 2 more years to get things done. This is his fault.

    Don’t call a snap election in the middle of an economic crisis… not to mention the disruption to all the municipal elections going on. It’s a complete strategic fumble.
