Here’s how it goes for me:
No way I’d vote for BC Liberals after what they did to this province.
No way I’d vote for BC Conservatives because of what they’d do to this province
No way I’d vote for BC United because they have no leadership platform and are essentially a reactionary less bad version of the Conservatives
That leaves NDP and Green. BC Greens are too disorganized and couldn’t manage the entire province.
That leaves the NDP, which has drifted so far from its Social Credit roots that it’s now a viable centrist party in BC. They’re unlikely to try to steal the province out from under us or turn it into an authoritarian state, and the most likely to attempt to do what’s best for the people.
Not that it matters; my riding will vote Conservative no matter who I vote for.
NDP has been doing a good job with Ravi Kahlon on housing. I don’t even vote by elimination, I think they’re doing a good job. Folding on decriminalization and the blind eye for LNG has been my biggest disappointments but still overall satisfied with the last 2y of provincial government.
Keep in mind that voting for a party anyway can show that party how many people are waiting in that riding. Then if it gets enough people they can focus on trying to get that area.
When I finished reading this, I heard a 'deflating party' sound in my head
