BC Election: Sunday Morning Coming Down?

Last Saturday night seems so long ago now.

Here in Vancouver it was the night of the progressive greening.

But here's the thing...

When you look hard at the numbers above, it's pretty easy to see why right-sider Ken Sim's mayoral numbers dropped so precipitously compared to the last civic election in 2022.

It's those three rightish-siders below Mr. Sim on the list above, all of whom either worked with or worked for Sim in the past.

And, so, if you give the numbers garnered by that trio back to Mr. Sim, the totality of the Greening (and the Copeing) would likely not have happened given that the split on the right was even more significant in the councillors' race. 

In contrast, the numbers suggest that David Eby will not receive such a split-driven assist in tomorrow's provincial election.
 

Look.

That Leger poll, above, which was published in Thursday's Vancouver Sun, is not a one-off. 

It really and truly appears that the right-sided split that Mr. Eby was betting on is gone.

And, to add insult to injury, that bit of a late game bounce for the provincial Greens could be a double-whammy in a number of close Dipper/Con ridings.

Which means that we will very likely see a big change of government Sunday morning coming down.

Earworm in the header?...Of course...This!
The best, I think, we of a progressive bent who are not in the 'burn it all down camp because Eby is so bad' camp can hope for is that the advances were orange enough that there is another NDP/Green coalition...But that really looks like a longshot at this point.
