That's not really the case at all, outside of 2020 when turnout was exceptionally low. The people voting Conservative now are basically who was voting BC Liberal (which was a conservative party) in the past. Here's the main right-leaning party's vote share in BC over the last 30 years:
1996: 42%
2001: 58%
2005: 46%
2009: 46%
2013: 44%
2017: 40%
2020: 34%
2024: 44%
And I wasn't saying that every last Conservative voter fit in that group; just that that's their base now. Socially liberal moderates don't have a place in the current BC Conservative party.
