There's been a lot of traffic (by my standards) to an old Post from just before the 2013 election which the BC NDP were poised to win, and didn't.
The 2017 talk of late is about the minority Government of the BC NDP, with the assistance of three Green MLAs in conjunction with the dismal performance by BC Liberal Leader Christy Clark's 2017 election campaign and in combination with her bizarre clone Throne speech. Both items have left the small 'c' BC conservatives within the BC Liberal Party looking towards their future not being a minority party within another minority party (BC Liberals).
If Christy Clark has to face a leadership debate, and loses, then the only option for the new leader if he/she is not an MLA is to look to someone who is an MLA (on the BC Liberal side) to step down.
Would Christy Clark do a Gordon Campbell and resign? ??? not likely unless there was a High Commissioner Carrot waiting in the wings in the hands of another Prime Minister of Canada.
If Christy Clark did resign her Kelowna-West-revolving-door-mla-seat it would once again be up for grabs, with two catches for the new Opposition Leader to win the seat.
One:
The BC Liberals no longer being the government, no longer have access to the deep 2013 Treasury account pockets to offer a 'bona fide' job to another outgoing Kelowna-West MLA another job in China.
Two:
The BC conservatives could win the seat in Kelowna-West.
Question for the BC Legislature Clerk:
If the BC NDP / Green coalitions works for one or two years, will the next Government be in for the remainder of the 2017 - 2021 term or would it be four years from 2018 or 2019 to 2022 to 2023?

We spent the afternoon using data from before 2009 and after, AND we used two different sources:
Rossk's: The Gazetteer:
http://pacificgazette.blogspot.ca/2013/03/is-mr-cummins-now-officially-zombie.html
And:
Adrian MacNair's: Unambiguously Ambidextrous
http://unambig.com/will-fall-of-b-c-liberals-give-sway-to-b-c-conservatives/
And then just at the last minute we hit the Microsoft's Excel TrendLine button, for each Party......
PS.... the data provided by the Pollsters isn't for every month, .... it appears to be done in the same fashion as the Historical Prime Rate.....
if the data doesn't go up or down.... they just don't record it... and
then when things really goes sideways they'll put two sets of data in
one month..... we went for every month.... even if it meant using the
same numbers till there was a change....either up or down.
