BC Election Count Update....Early Sat Afternoon, October 26th...
So.
It looks like those mail-in ballots are swinging, hard, toward the NDP.
The two seats they were ahead by a whisker in, Juan de Luca and Surrey Centre, are now looking a little more comfortable (the former has gone from 20 ahead to 106 in the lead; the latter has gone from 96 ahead to 162).
That would leave things at Dipper 46, Con 45, Green 2 (you need 47 for a majority, plus you need a speaker which would make commenter Trailblazer's suggestion of one of the two Greeniacs becoming the speaker a realistic possibility).
But...
The gap has closed considerably in Surrey Guildford where the election night Con lead of 102 is now down to 14.
And, get this, Castanet is reporting that the relatively close Kelowna Centre (Con by 148 on election night) has 800+ mail-in & absentees still to count. If that flips orange....Well?
Next Elections BC update should come soon, maybe even later this afternoon...

Kewlowna Centre you say! Isn't that the cradle of free enterprise?
