Chances of an NDP Victory

A day before the election, 338Canada’s projections suggest there may be an NDP majority. 

338Canada is a campaign website that uses available polling data, each riding’s history, and population data etc. It predicts the outcome of the election for every riding and has been used in 13 previous elections.  They have been right close to 90% of the time. They were wrong, but still within the margin of error, 6% of the time and totally wrong in 4% out of 1,657 electoral district races. (They predict the outcome in each riding.)

This prediction for the upcoming election was made on October 16: 

  • 49 seats for the NDP 
  • and 42 for the Conservatives. 

As this is based on projections that show the popular vote very close (45% to 43% respectively) and this is within the margin of error (4%), these numbers are far from certain.

This event was put on by  FOCI’s Climate Action Committee (The Climate Action Network) and there is a link to the unedited audio at the bottom of this page.

Nic for North Island, an Interview with The Green Party Candidate

While the Green party has shown promise in the past, especially on Vancouver Island, this has yet to translate into votes on election day. So my biggest question for Nic Dedeluk, the candidate for North Island riding, is why should we vote Green? 

Nick Dedeluk: “The Green Party is running candidates in 69 ridings, but we have six ridings that we are really hopeful will actually get elected. Getting six green MLAs voted in would be really positive for BC politics and holding the other parties accountable to moving forward  in a way that’s better for our environment.”

North Island offers a case study for upcoming BC election

Canada’s National Observer, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

This article is part of a series by Canada’s National Observer that will take a look at Vancouver Island’s “ridings to watch” in the upcoming election. 

The North Island may well be a long held NDP stronghold but the recent spike in support for the BC Conservatives suggests a tight two-way race is in the making in the upcoming provincial election.
