    all the required strategic voting,

    Much of BC was lost through three-way ties that the blues won by a nose. It seems that, for some ridings, strategy wasn’t strong enough.

    If two Oranges ‘cross’ to Red to give Mark a mandate, can they ‘cross’ back before the next election?

      Yeah I hope the fact that both the NDP and the LPC got screwed in BC on so many ridings causes their hopeful coalition government to actually implement voting reform this time.

        Yeah, this might actually be convincing to those in power now. The eternal problem with electoral reform is: why would you change a system which you just won with?
