This is gong to be the least-anticipated election in 20 years.
Welcome NDP, I guess. At least the Liberals are not even going to give you the satisfaction of even the pretense of a fight.

It is no suprise that people who feel that they are unlikely to win next spring are jumping ship, Jimmy P. has only so many open positions though!

It will not be as bad as 2001 was for the NDP

I feel your pain Bernard but that is hardly consolation! The big issue for the Liberals is that there is no base now to build from. As long as Ms. Clark hangs on it will mean dark days and then likely a few years until they can start the process again.

I'm surprised people are predicting an NDP win. Doesn't BC have a long history of discontent with the ruling party right up until election day, at which the ruling party is re-elected? There were only a few exceptions to that rule.
I think that you have it backwards. BC has a long history of voting against parties and not for them. NDP in-fighting cost them the last two elections and the hated of the Clark NDP was what brought the Liberals to power before that. Now that the NDP has a credible leader, there it someone for the Liberal haters to vote for!

^ A credible leader? The perpetual frown and whining? There are others in the party I could have accepted but not Dix. Although it looks like we will get him regardless.
I use the term credible loosely and mostly with respect to his predecessors.

VICTORIA -- Premier Christy Clark's parliamentary secretary, John Les, added his name Thursday morning to the growing list of Liberal MLAs who are announcing their departure from politics.
“This has been a difficult decision. Since first being elected to public office as an alderman in Chilliwack in 1983, there have been countless rewarding and fulfilling experiences” Les said in a written statement Thursday morning as he announced he will not be seeking a fourth term as the MLA for Chilliwack.

NDP way too socialist and beholden to unions, so where do I go?
A moderate secular conservative party would be good, a revived fiscally conservative liberal party would do, but honestly for the first time in thirty years I don't know who I am going to vote for.
