520.0. "Recent BC election" by RDGE44::ALEUC1 () Mon Nov 04 1991 11:01

    I  haven't heard much news about the recent BC election.  Can someone
    supply an update.  What were the final counts, # of seats per party and
    % of popular vote each party received?
    
    How is the new government being received by the various lobby groups
    ( Business etc ).
    
    When is the budget due?
    
    Cheers

520.1It's a NDP government, that's all I knowGVA01::ATKINSONJust the facts kidMon Nov 04 1991 11:221
    
520.2CGOOA::OWONGSKIWI in Canada (VAO)Thu Nov 07 1991 21:5312
    NDP 57
    Social Credit 17
    Liberal 8
    
    Numbers are from memory only.  As a % of the popular vote I think the
    split was alongs the lines of 40/30/30 ie it didn't match the number of
    seats very closely at all.
    
    There were major changes in that Social Credit 'strongholds' (Fraser
    Valley, Richmond, Okanagan) went to one or other of the other parties.
    
    Rita Johnson (the previous premier lost her seat)

    I believe the correct numbers are NDP 51, Liberals 17, Social Credit 7.
