The B.C. Liberals have released the results of the third count of the leadership vote on a constituency-by-constuency basis.
It shows that the winner, Christy Clark, racked up more than 60 percent of the points in 14 of the province's 85 constituencies.
The second-place finisher, Kevin Falcon, won more than 60 percent of the points in nine constituencies.
Here are where Clark's best percentages came from: Vancouver-Fraserview (70.1 percent), Alberni-Pacific Rim (68.8 percent), North Coast (68.3 percent), Saanich South (67 percent), New Westminster (65.2 percent), Surrey-Newton (65 percent), Boundary-Similkameen (64.7 percent), Vancouver-Kensington (64.6 percent), North Island (63.9 percent), Vancouver-Kingsway (63.4 percent), Victoria-Swan Lake (61 percent), Kootenay West (60.3 percent), Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows (60.2 percent), Skeena (60.1 percent).
Clark also demonstrated strength in Burnaby, winning all four constituencies handily, as well as in Delta where she easily won both contests, and on Vancouver Island outside of Victoria-Beacon Hill and Oak Bay-Gordon Head. She also took five Surrey constituencies.
Falcon's best percentages came in the following constituencies: Columbia River-Revelstoke (75.3 percent), Shuswap (70.2 percent), Chilliwack (66.2 percent), Surrey-Cloverdale (63.5 percent), Prince George-Valemont (63.5 percent), Peace River North (63 percent), Prince George-Mackenzie (62.6 percent), Vancouver-Quilchena (62.3 percent), West Vancouver-Capilano (61.3 percent).
She was brought in to back up Falcon - both Campbell clones, but Christy is from Vancouver - and developers are backing her. The NDP needs to contact Joy McPhail immediately and set her against Christy in a by-election that Campbell must call for his seat.
The BC Conservatives if they are serious will run former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier and current BC resident Brian Peckford in that by-election----while the BC First Party runs Delaney and Vander Zalm gets set to lead that party.
Christy - at least if you based it on the media spin is Vander Zalm reincarnate - so she makes him relevant. If Christy loses the by-election well what do you think of those headlines?
Christy won the battle - but she is light years from winning the war. Imagine if you'er Falcon, Abbott, Coleman and others having to call her boss for $120,000 K a year. Where should I place by testicles your highness?
For me/quiet man with the biggest gun - this is like Christmas!
Plot thickens baby - like a good stew - the plot thickens.
Social media about to take over the province- git up off o' that chair....and dance to you feel better. (James Brown)
No seat in the BC Legislature. Higher than average liklihood of a federal election over the same period of time. HST Referendum, Teachers wage demands. It is too much and I cannot see that Christy has what it takes to manage this.
