BC Conservatives pull ahead in latest poll, Premier cautions voters
As the Conservative Party of BC sees a bump in support in another poll, B.C.'s premier is warning voters should do their research.
As the Conservative Party of BC sees a bump in support in another poll, B.C.’s premier is warning voters should do their research before casting a ballot. Premier David Eby says the Conservative party denies human-caused climate change, questions vaccine efficacy and draws on the worst traditions of populism tearing apart the United States. “It’s not helpful for us as a province. It won’t help us grow, it won’t help us be successful in the world, and actually, it will take us backwards very significantly,” he said. “I encourage people to look at the actual real beliefs of the Conservative Party of British Columbia when they cast their vote ten months from now, and that will be part of our message as we move forward.” Read More: The next provincial election is planned for October. BC United, formerly the BC Liberals, are the party losing points to the Conservatives’ gain. According to the latest poll by Abacus Data, 42 per cent of committed voters would vote Conservatives and 23 per cent would vote Liberals if an election was held right now. This means the Conservatives are up three points since the research agency’s last poll, while every other party has dropped by a point. Political analysts believe the BC Conservative bump is due to the federal Conservative party gaining popularity, despite the two parties not being affiliated.
