I wonder how may people got hired to apply votes? Try it, you can vote as often as you have time to waste, these are not polls, they are entertainment. The results depend on how desperate some individuals are to prove Christy deserves a second chance after failing the first round.
And would it surprise you to learn the same paper also contributed to Christy's last election campaign, i guess desperate measures call for desperate mind manipulation.

It's just a six plus week delay to the next non confidence vote and the Speaker can't vote on a third read from I understand therefore budget won't pass and we go to the polls. I can handle six weeks of left wing govt.

Finally, the corrupt liberal Christy Clark government has toppled. This province has been sold to the highest bidder for the past 16 years. No affordable housing. Cuts to education, healthcare, Vancouver drug and homeless problem out of control, but the wealthy donors keep getting richer. I don't know if the corrupt ship can be turned around, but now is the time.

BCis a great place to live,where you can get a good job,well paying,and raise your family in a secure environment and that should be enough for most honest people.I think CHRISTIE Clark did that for us all,she keep the economy growing in a positive way without too much pomp and ceremony.Now the NDP who have no plan but to shut down the major projects and stop all progress in the name of GOD KNOWS WHAT .Now let's take from the rich and give to the poor which doesn't accomplish anything.Let's give the poor a job so he/she can support themselves and their families and stop all the complaining.There are too many people out there who want something for nothing....Weaver does not get any points from me although I like the Greens,he is just a big BLOWHARD who thinks he knows everything.Thanks

Political parties do not "deserve a turn or a chance at governing" They need to win that right on an election. The NDP did mot win the election. Th Lt. Governor has do e a disservice to the people of BC to allow the NDP to gorm a government when they did not win the right ti in an election. To say nothing of the fact that tey cannot possibly form a stable Government.
I will be surprised if we are not back to the polls before the end of this year. I certainly hope so in any event.

If the Horgan/Weaver bromance had ANY strategy at all, they would keep the Libs in power, and present members bills after members bills to get what they want with a majority vote, with the Libs taking the 'credit' for overturning 16 years of mismanagement.
Start with a private members bill to work all summer - no summer break for anybody, and continue in this fashion for at least 18 months.
The NDP and Green will get all of their wish lists covered, and with Ms. Clark as the outward face to the world as the "Leader of BC"; She would be humiliated in 10 weeks. Imagine after 18 months?
HUGE problem for the NDP if Judith Guichon (LG for BC) decides to have a snap election after a Vote of Non-Confidence with the Throne Speech, because the NDP are broke. They cannot afford another election right away, and The Libs have all the nice Corporate Cash Cows at her beck-and-call.

53% saying new election. I'd rather that than a government formed by 2 parties that will be at odds with each other too bad it wasn't a liberal majority. Then we could all be botching about how shitty double c is for the next few years
Doug nuyts - 7 years ago
Christy may be unpopular, but she won the election. If all the green voters had known Weaver would sell out so fast, some would surely have balked. Now that he has shown his true colours, let's see how many seats the greens get. They cant govern with a tied house anyway, so lets get on with it.

It is what it is! We already all voted. Yes it was close, but NDP had more. Get over it & let's get on with it! Some may not like it, but that's a chance that gets taken in an election!

Marion DeCaro - 7 years ago
all of you people who are bashing the Greens and Andrew Weaver, I think you have it wrong. They did not form a coalition with the NDP!! They only agreed to vote with them to defeat the Liberal in a non confidence vote, they can still decide on every other issue separately. What choice was there, to let the Liberals win or to join with them for a majority, that would have been horrible and I would be bashing them now if they had done that. The NDP and the Greens have quite a few things that they agree on and the Greens are free to vote in any issue independly.

A $44 million price tag, to hold another BC election, says that both sides of the political coin should be exhausted before calling a new election. The Liberals need a new leader and the longer it takes to declare one then the more expensive it's going to become to try and re elect the partys' biggest problem. The political power, of this province, is supposed to be represented by a predetermined political point of view. CC is unethical and demented for power.

I am a monthly contributor to the Green Party of BC. I, of course, voted Green in an NDP stronghold. Would I have voted for the Liberals of BC? Not a chance! Why? Their lack of morals & ethics.

I want the whole of the liberal party backroom boys & girls plus the repugnant Christy Clark & her MLA's to be brought up on corruption charges & sent to jail if they are found guilty. And all those corporate lobbyists & "donators" be given the same opportunity as the Liberals of BC to explain themselves.

I'm ashamed to say I voted Green. I DIDNOTvote for the NDP!!! I will NEVER vote Green again. I had hoped for a party that would stand tall and vote on each issue NOT one who weaseled over to the NDP and became Horgan's puppet just to get a payoff so the NDP could form government.

Can't agree with you more Norm! and to David Findlay why does the voting system need to be changed now?? Only because it benefits one party there is a reason the first past the post system is in use Canada wide is to give an equal voice to all regions not just the consumer city of Vancouver where most of the resources mined and drilled in the rest of the province are used up I am not a liberal doner however the liberals have done an amazing job at giving me and my family the opportunity to feed myself by provinding endless opportunity for honest employment on the terms of her being corrupt I seem to recall seeing UNIFOR billboard calling for the take down of the liberals how much money was donated to the NDP from private firms? Look it up you won't find a big difference also the Green Party (erhem I mean the mini NDP) siding with the real NDP to topple a government and steal an election it's not hate it's just serious disgust over a dirty play. Good for Vancouver doesn't mean good for BC

One thing first NDP did not win the election... 2 forming a coalition after an election doesn't constitute a win... Having our jobs lost because of this will not be good would all of the NDP and Green Party members pay me out for my loss of home and income when this happens I think not... I agree some things need to be changed but at what cost for one. For 2 Both NDP and Weaver blocked the bill to prevent donations and making the Green Party Official.., I am not excited about the possibilities of losing our good economy for this.... I live in north peace area where most of the job loses will occur as a result of this recklessness. Think of another thing if many tax payers lose everything as a result of job loses what will pay for all of these promises the NDP and Greens have made. Personally I don't care which party it was but when a party says they are going to cut these projects that is not good. I am a single parent and have worked my whole life for what I have. I am not a liberal whiner either ... but hey if you want to pay all my bills and my mortgage and take that on when my job is lost after NDP comes in I will shut up

Joanne Please educate yourself on how our parliamentary system works. Further the BC Green party entered into an agreement with the BC NDP not for power - that's the BC Liberals - but to influence government policy.
Laine Waddell. Your hate just slithered into the comments. Since when did the BC Liberals care about anyone other than their donors. Proportional representation is far more democratic than our current first past the post system. Further if a majority of voters live in metro Vancouver then they are simply that THE MAJORITY.

No one voted in an NDP-Green party coalition. The only party with the majority of seats was the Liberals, regardless if they weren't enough for a majority government. The result kept all 3 parties accountable. The Greens sold themselves for power, and in my opinion have lost all credibility. They would have served the people of British Columbia if they remainws true to themselves. A new election is definitely preferable and a higher voter turnout will tell the tale of what the people of British Columbia truly want.

I mean everything happening right now is legal but after the NDP and Greens have been voting down the bills put forward by the Liberals that the NDP campaigned for it shows all they are really interested in is power and don't actually care about British Columbians

Although I'd prefer an NDP gov't, with the numbers the way they are now, I can see anything getting done. I think there needs to be an election or we'll be stuck in neutral.
We need a new election!! The NDP and greens seizing power like this makes us like a banana republic!!
Alex Puttonen, I believe Christy is salivating as am I, at the thought of another election and winning. Why would she even try for a confidence vote if she knew she would lose another election? FB polls already show Christy at 52% with NDP 48%. Haha how's that for proof?
Stop trying to cover up your criminal records CC and GO ALREADY!!
BC Libs are crooks and gang related and its time to drain our BC swamp
I'm of two minds on this. I'd like Horgan to be sworn in as soon as possible, but on the other hand, a new, costly, unnecessary election would almost surely result in a majority NDP government.
The liberals won the election how the ndp and Green Party can join forces then put them selves ahead of who the people actually voted for is the stupidest and most bs thing I have ever seen. THEY LOST.
We need a new election because we sure don't need the NDP
Let's get on with government,cut out the nonsense that this so called liberals are doing & have John Hogan run this beautiful province.
It is time for the Interior of BC to join Alberta. Vancouver and it's Island can rename themselves La La Land and learn to exist without jobs and fossil fuel. To speed things along we'll shut their fossil fuel supply off at Kamloops the day that your phone government takes over.
Please give NDP and green party a chance to rule the province. As a matter of fact, Christy clerk copy almost all the policy from NDP, it's prove NDP's policy is good and workable. Christy is too late to correct her mistakes, she should step down, because liberal needs a strong and wisdom and have decisions leader, not a copy cat.
Liberal party ignored people's need, they should look back and find their mistakes.
How can British Colombians forget what happened last time? Look at Quebec, ONTARIO, Alberta everywhere they have been in power things got worse. Way worse. How can we fix anything if we are broke and can't find work which is what will happen. AGAIN
16 years ago the NDP left Campbell Libs with a record 1.5 billion dollar surplus, and these so-called keepers of the purse have left the tax payer with a 180 billion dollar deficit. So long Christy and your crooked bunch of hypocrites and don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Joanne Please educate yourself on how our parliamentary system works. Further the BC Green party entered into an agreement with the BC NDP not for power - that's the BC Liberals - but to influence government policy.
Laine Waddell. Your hate just slithered into the comments. Since when did the BC Liberals care about anyone other than their donors. Proportional representation is far more democratic than our current first past the post system. Further if a majority of voters live in metro Vancouver then they are simply that THE MAJORITY.
We just had an election!! It's been 6 weeks of getting the sore losers OUT! That's democracy, Say Goodbye and gracefully leave NOW! Plans have to be made around funding available, depending on which gov't is in!!
Cmon Christy! Just resign! You've had 16 years. Time for a change and some fresh approaches. BC kids don't need anymore of your starving the school system and having them die in care. And we need some affordability. Why are we still the only province paying MSP premiums? And NO to Site C and Kinder Morgan. I could go on.
We already had a poll like this. It was the election. The NDP-Green partnership won the most seats.
24 more hours of BC Liberal government. Then probably a ruthless internal cleanse and leadership contest that will take a year or so and drastically redefine the party. Goodbye Christy Clark.
Time for a Serious Change in BC! 16 years of BC Liberal corruption and pandering to special interest groups at the expense of the rest of us has to stop! The BC Liberals sold us out! It's time for them to go!
I welcome the opportunity to see our parliamentary system at work and a chance for Premier Horgan. I believe the general concensus among British Columbiana is that a snap election would only further punish Christy so if the Liberal supporters really want one bring it on.
Christy Clark needs to step down. And John Horgan needs to step up.
The last thing we need is another election, can we just get on with running our province.
No one voted in an NDP-Green party coalition. The only party with the majority of seats was the Liberals, regardless if they weren't enough for a majority government. The result kept all 3 parties accountable. The Greens sold themselves for power, and in my opinion have lost all credibility. They would have served the people of British Columbia if they remainws true to themselves. A new election is definitely preferable and a higher voter turnout will tell the tale of what the people of British Columbia truly want.
We need the BC Liberals out, so we can undo the damage they've caused, from gerrymandering to extreme corporatism!
Yes let's let Horgan steal the government and slither his way into the premiers office, then change the voting regime to a system that he knows makes it easier for him to get elected and takes away any say from the rest of BC, then Vancouver can say they know how the rest of the province wants to be run. I mean everything happening right now is legal but after the NDP and Greens have been voting down the bills put forward by the Liberals that the NDP campaigned for it shows all they are really interested in is power and don't actually care about British Columbians
Quit wasting tax payer dollars and resign. B.C wants change.
John Horgan for Premier
Get lost Christy
