Kamloops-area MLA Peter Milobar says the Conservative Party of B.C. may yet form government
A familiar name in B.C. politics returning to Victoria with a new party says the state of health care, especially in rural communities, played an important role in the election outcome.
Milobar added that Eby either found himself in an echo chamber of people who told him what they thought he wanted to hear or that he just chose to ignore what"large swaths of the population were saying over and over again." "Well, what a shocking revelation," Milobar said in pointing to those comments."He had to go through an election to figure that out? He wasn't taking those concerns seriously. For the last two years, we have seen ever-increasing ER closures across B.C."
Ultimately, much of the current discussion amounts to speculation, Milobar said, pointing to the two ridings subject to automatic recounts. Milobar also pointed to the events of 2020 when West Vancouver-Sea to Sky flipped from the B.C. Greens to then B.C. Liberals as mail-in ballots started to be counted. A judicial recount later confirmed that incumbent Jordan Sturdy had beaten the B.C. Greens' Jeremy Valeriote, one of two Greens set to go to Victoria this year.
Others have argued otherwise. Speaking Saturday as results were coming in, B.C.'s Health Minister Adrian Dix said his party's vote share of almost 45 per cent was the party's third-best performance in its history.
