oooohhh, this is getting interesting now.
B.C. Greens agree to support NDP in minority legislature

B.C.’s Green Party has reached an agreement with the New Democrats to topple the government of Premier Christy Clark.
The agreement, which will be announced at 2 p.m. PT, would see the Greens and New Democrats use their combined one-seat majority in the legislature to bring down the BC Liberals.
The announcement ends weeks of negotiations between the Greens and both parties to either prop up the Liberals or give the New Democrats the power to form government after 16 years in Opposition.
The May 9 election gave the Liberals just 43 seats in the House. The NDP have 41 seats and the Greens have three.
They will vote non confidence. Clark will ask for a new election and will certainly be denied. They'll need to have every member in attendance every day to avoid the house falling again.
