I don't understand why the NDP continue to be so popular in BC. They are liars, and are continually working against the public interest for things like forestry and climate change (LNG anyone?). Is it just because there are no other options?

For me, yes. I’ll have to vote for these same liars over and over to keep Cons and United out. They (NDP) do get some things right once in a while, so it’s a small victory.

The rules don't change.

  1. Vote the party who stands the best chance on delivering a net-positive platform, even if it's the best of a bad bunch.
  2. Repeat.

It's like evolution: with enough iterations, we will grow a good administration.

This means that we vote in the party we do, not because they're good, but because these disenfranchising liars and racists and sellouts are the least-worse.

Dont let perfection be the enemy of the good.

Conservatives and BC United are shit parties... still I wish the BCNDP were more coherent on forestry, LNG, other natural resources and drugs. They've at least addressed the housing question in ways no other provincial government in Canada has.
