The BC Cons started imploding almost right after the election—or, really, throughout the entire campaign. They almost won because PP was popular at the time and polls said lots of people would vote “Conservative” (likely with little understanding of the BC Cons complete lack of experience or sensible platform). This led to BC United dropping out of the election (to not split the right-wing vote).
So… Who knows? What we learned from the last election is that if there’s a unified right-wing party with a charismatic leader, then they could reasonably win, even if they haven’t articulated a platform.
I imagine this is good for Eby?
Too early to say.
