Post-mortem reveals British Columbians more concerned about health care, cost of living
Why did a BC NDP election campaign overwhelmingly focused on attacking the character of the BC Conservatives fail to prevent a blue wave that came within 27 votes of toppling the governing party?
It’s an important conclusion, when you consider the bulk of the 28-day NDP election strategy centred around daily releases of controversial social media posts by candidates and leader John Rustad to underpin the message that the party was unfit for public office. Rustad and NDP Leader David Eby had “muted” support, and it only grew more negative as the campaign wore on, according to the results.
New Democrats supporters in the survey cited things like party ideology, a belief the NDP could best tackle the issues and an attempt to block another party as reasons for their vote, according to Navigator. For Conservatives, far and away, the motivating factor was simply a change in government and a reversal of NDP policies.
