BC because Eby wanted to retire/listened to a colossal idiot for trying to take advantage of an unknown interim Con leader and the volatility of the cons.
What he should have done is gave people some benefits, waited for everyone to hear the inevitable batshit con ideas in their leadership race, then call the election when everyone has been bribed and the con factions(steal-everything neocons and religious insane) are furious at each other
Lowest voter turn out in BC history. Cons got 100k less votes than 2024, but NDP got 300k less. Turns out surprising voters is not a good plan.
I think the biggest miscalculation was assuming that having 2 conservative parties was splitting the vote and not doubling the exposure of the popular choice.
It’s crazy to me that people just don’t vote. I’m out plastering anti-gov flyers on street polls, coordinating with significantly left wing associations and I still vote.

I didn’t realize how low the count was. I wonder if it has anything to do with all the municipal elections happening at the same time.
I don’t doubt it.
Unless you’re cognizant enough to advanced vote 2x in one day Id assume many people only voted in one or the other on the actual voting day.
He had 2 more years he could have used to implement a bunch of the new things they were suddenly promising during the campaign.
Is this some weird NDP cope for shitting the bed?
Moron could’ve just stepped down instead of pulling the stunt he did.
He could’ve let someone else take over. Instead he ran again and tried to win. That’s a weird move if he genuinely wanted to retire.
Oh he absolutely shit the bed. Given how he has previously been competent(the whole casino thing) its shocking how inept this has been.
