As of 1am PST, if 2000 out of the 3500 or so people who voted for the Green Party had changed their vote to NDP in the Vancouver-Point Grey riding, Gordon Campbell would have lost his place as premier. Two thousand votes is still a lot of votes, but think of it this way, in Campbell’s riding, more people voted against him than for him. The same cannot be said of Carole James who garnered more votes than the entire slate running against her.
I’m not an expert in politics, but these are the interesting trends that my solar-powered calculator shows me.
