BC Election

I'm guessing there might be around 2 people who care.

Thoughts?

Re: BC Election

Usually it's just rhetoric when people say that they are all shit. But in this case I think it's actually true. I'm not eligable to vote, but if I was I couldn't see myself voting for any of them.

Christy = incompetent
Dix = slimey crook
Cummins = arsehole
Green Party Lasy whose name I've forgot = god no.

Re: BC Election

I'd vote Conservative mainly because they'd be a lot funnier and might do something about the liquor control board if pressed. But they don't have a hope in hell getting in out here on the looney left coast.

are you sure you're not eligible to vote? I thought PRs were for provincial elections, it's the just the federal ones we don't want you lot voting in.

I've been on the fence cos none of them appeal, but I've finally decided based on the pipeline.

Libs - corrupt, been in power too long, everyone's sick of them
NDP - terrifying but the only real option for change
Green - a nice idea but never gonna happen
Conservatives - terrifying and never gonna happen.

Re: BC Election

Libs - corrupt, been in power too long, everyone's sick of them - Probably wouldn't get too much worse
NDP - terrifying but the only real option for change - If you think death by a thousand taxes is bad now, then just naffing wait if them a mandate.
Green - a nice idea but never gonna happen - Stop hugging things ffs
Conservatives - terrifying and never gonna happen. - Loonies

BTW, the cbc has a good link where you can see where your political beliefs stack up against the party platforms. Allegedly I'm 78% Green. :blink:

For a start, raise the class sizes to at least 38 and cut a third of the teachers, all of the school counsellors, all the VP's, all the teacher aides and make parents pay for the extra services for their special needs children [watch how many kids miraculously disappear off "the spectrum", then].

Fair enough, tax the rich but they take the piss with all their hidden sales taxes which disproportionally target the poor.

I don't really know.

Libs - keep us in cos all the alternatives suck

NDP - vote for us cos we're not the Libs

Green - pipelines and tankers booo

Conservatives - the 1950's were the high point of civilisation, let's bring them back.
