NDP is scary and the province will be in ruins if they are elected.

Because the Liberals have been soooo good. Get real, you're not going to convince anyone of your BS here.

Both Clark and Dix represent a move to the left for their parties.

Will the BC Conservatives have a chance to become a real party?

Yes. With the anger over HST, where will right wing BCers turn?

Don't expect any big political developments in BC until the Canucks' postseason is over.

Good point. And hopefully, that's not til June!

On your final point, Foucaulf, I was of the impression that BC had fixed election dates. As a local, you undoubtably have greater knowledge. Am I mistaken, or is there a way for the Premier to get around a fixed date?

I have a map of BC Conservative votes at the last election, I'll upload it tomorrow for your perusal. I have a couple of other maps in the International Elections and Blank Maps galleries.

There's one there already, actually:

There is a fixed date, but those can always be ignored...
