The Greens and NDP might want to run just one candidate between them. The riding may have gone Liberal in the federal election (hard to tell), so anything is possible.
To everyone's surprise, Kelowna-Lake Country actually *did* go Liberal in 2015. And this was with an assist from the Greens, who opted not to run a candidate there. Meanwhile, in neighbouring Central Okanagan-S-N (the de facto federal "Kelowna West", and the successor to Stockwell Day's bulwark), the Grits came shockingly close to making it a federal twofer.
Provincially, I think the big-tent BC Liberals are still favoured.
Even though I predicted a Conservative win, I was not terribly surprised. The Liberals had been polling quite well in the region.
Do you mean B.C. or are pollsters doing federal crosstabs for Vancouver, Okanagan etc?
You do know I work for a polling company right? I just created my own crosstabs!
Yes. That was poor wording on my part.
Are you guys polling BC enough to get a large enough sample for meaningful crosstabs? Atlantic crosstabs are crappy enough, and the Okanagan is smaller than that
We had a lot of data across the country available during the federal election. It's why my (our) seat by seat predictions were the best; I was able to identify trends that no one else could possibly know (except those working on the campaigns).
