Will it be on the same map? Or do I have to add it to Saskatchewan as a province I have to update?
Same map. New electoral map roughly every two elections.
Since 89, Its been every 10 years, since the last redistribution was 2008, for the 2009 election, the next wont be till 2018, after the next election. So were stuck with these bad boys
Polls are notoriously bad everywhere... interestingly the NDP is polling about the same as the 2013 election (39% then) and the Liberals are 8 points lower (44% in 2013), mostly going to the Greens who are polling about 6 point higher (8% in 2013) Tories have doubled, but as it's already mentioned much of that will be wasted when they don't run candidates.
The NDP could form government if the Greens keep eating the Liberal vote; it will cost the NDP in places like VanIsland, but they could make up those seats in the lower mainland where riding's are lost by only a few % points, a few points going from the Liberals to the greens will turn those seats NDP.
Also, it depends on what kind of campaign the NDP runs... hopefully they have learnt from their mistakes (massive ones) back in 2013. I actually think Dix should probably not run again... and we know Kwan (most likely) will win the VanEast Federal nomination. That's two open NDP seats right there in Vancouver where the NDP actually picked up 2 seats (Fairview and Point Grey) bucking the overall lower mainland trend in 2013
