I think BC more than most provinces would benefit from some form of PR or MMR.

The NDP presents itself as a leftwing alternative, but in reality is simply a labour party. They'll put the unions above all else. They have no true politics or ideologies, other than supporting the unions.

That's a pretty silly/uninformed thing to say. You might not agree with their policies but I can think of quite a few things off the top of my head (i.e. renter's tax credit, elimination of student loan interest, etc.) that have nothing to do with unions.

It's more a situation of people being forced to vote for Clarke. When it comes time to vote many people will bite their lip and just vote Clarke, despite her being pretty abysmal. These people are not likely to run to the polls and declare their support ahead of time.

I could definitely see that happening but your last statement isn't really relevant. The Mainstreet poll in the link below actually outlines the differences when accounting for undecideds. I think the big factor in this election, much like the last federal election, is going to be voter turnout. Anything above 60% likely means a new government, and anything below 55% means another Liberal government.
