The NDP just won the next election.The conservatives chose a true right conservative (Findlay) narrowly over a centrist conservative (Elliot) and therefore have lost any chance of winning more urban votes in Lotusland where most of the MLA seats are.The NDP were terrified of Elliot but Findlay is a godsend.As long as the grassroots far right rule the Conservatives they will never win.

When a leader of a party includes any type of religious reference such as "faith" being an important part of their platform they have already lost the majority of votes down south or in the blue collar areas of BC. We are not the states, we don't hold religion in high standards when it comes to voting. They missed the boat by not selecting Elliot. The NDP will continue to win the south, where the population is, unless they do something to themselves to alienate the lefties in Vancouver and area. If they couldn't win enough seats in the south with Rustad, they certainly won't with Findlay.

Lol, of course they bring up Trump. No conservative leader in Canadian history has been anything like trump. Stephen Harper was diplomatic, measured and methodical and Canada prospered under his leadership. Under NDP leadership, what has happened?Violent crime has risen dramaticallyDrug addiction, overdose deaths have risen dramatically. But at least after 15000 people died, they relented and admitted their plan was a failureThe provincial government is now being threatened by unelected chiefs and bands, over land title ruling. We can’t even talk about some things publicly, because they can never be scrutinized.We had six months of violent public outrage, over what is likely buried septic field, but we will never know, because followup will never happen. Youth unemployment is higher than ever before.What has gone well?

Looks like the Conservatives may have just handed the NDP another 4 years at the next election. They had a real opportunity to break the mould and offer something new, but instead they’ve gone with the same old establishment politics. It’s no wonder younger generations aren’t energized by politics anymore.

Well better than the other ones running. Looks like the only option to get rid of the socialist in there now. Right now the province is doomed under the NDP.

Every difficult issue is the 100% the NDP’’s fault including the moss on my roof. Never look in the mirror to see where help can begin. Never have a moment of self-doubt.

Not an impressive victory in my mind. Curious to hear the party line on Proportional Voting. Going to a fourth count , dropping 3 candidates and having a 51/49 split is not a decisive win.I guess we can be pleased that they are labelling themselves conservative rather than using liberal now anyway.

Conservatives just don't get it. The central right worries about extremism. She cares about faith - which faith? If a Muslim or Sikh won and said that, I'd be concerned - so why wouldn't they be concerned. Conservatives, can't you just elect a fiscally responsible leader who cares about public safety. Do we really have to hitch our wagon to the further right. Then again, if Eby stays, we can kiss any kind of prosperity goodbye. As a good socialist he believes those who create wealth, must have cheated, and need to be taxed accordingly.

Raising minimum wage only drives up the cost of goods and increases unemployment because businesses cant eat the extra costs. The solution is to lower the cost of living.

Where is Jeff Bezos telling us to not tax people in this class (so they can spend more at Amazon rather than support their local markets).We also don't have an affordability crisis, we have a spending crisis.

If you don't win the majority of seats in metro Vancouver and south vancouver island you don't get to be government.What the provincial conservatives lack is a normal, fiscally responsible leader such as a Bill or WAC Bennett or a Paul Martin.Enough of the far right wingnuts who preach gun rights, faith, freedom and all the nonsense that turns away the vast urban vote. Take off the blinders, open your eyes and take in the entire province, not just rural redneck B.C.. If you don't then you'll never form government.
