This is the closest election I've seen in my life. If Surrey Centre and Juan de Fuca flip, the Conservatives win. That's a decision made by like 100 votes in an election where 2,000,000 ballots were cast.

MODERATORS
Well, sort of. The Conservatives won't be able to form government with 46 seats, but 45 NDP + 2 Green make the 47 required.
I wish we had proportional representation.
Pop rep wouldn't have changed much for NDP/Con numbers.
STV, though, would have been an absolute gamechanger
BC United would still be around if not for FPTP. And Greens would get more votes. It absolutely would have changed how we vote.
I don't know how many last minute mail in ballots there are, but any mail ins received after Wednesday is still not counted. For some of these races it could possibly make a difference.
