    Adding up all the other party votes means the majority of BC voters did not vote for the BCCons. The majority of the province is being governed by a party they did not vote for.

    Not exactly an uncommon occurrence either, mind. FPTP is a complete and total farce and calling it democracy is a joke.

      “Lost the popular vote” is commonly understood to mean they aren’t the party with the most votes. The conservatives were unarguably the party with the most votes. They won the popular vote.

      Im not a fan of this outcome either but don’t try to spin the results by redefining terms.
