Vote NDP? British Columbia voters get a serious case of cold feet. Weeks of polling information that predicted an NDP victory in yesterday’s general election turned to vapour as citizens actually entered the polling booth. Premier Christy Clark won a comfortable seven seat majority majority for her party, although she also lost her own seat to a New Democrat by 700 votes or so. Ms. Clark remains premier (a handy feature of our parliamentary system) but will no doubt run for another seat in an early by-election. This would certainly be another case for the media to mourn just how it got things so wrong. Do they care about stuff like that in way-out British Columbia? CBC
