I live in the West Kelowna-Peachland district (side note, did that change from last year?) and Elections BC only lists BC United and BC Conservatives¹ as candidates. If another independent or party does not step up, does this mean I simply don’t get a choice this election?
Your choice is either to vote right wing or run for office.
Perhaps if I platform on banning Albertan drivers I may have a chance.
According to that website it looks like candidates still have a few weeks to get onto the ballot; I’d be surprised if by then you still don’t have a left-leaning candidate.
If it comes down to it, you can show up to vote and spoil your ballot. I believe that at least gets tracked as a number, though it’s not going to move the needle in any direction.
I only have a former bc united candidate signed up in my riding.
Don’t you worry, you will have more parties join the list before the deadline.
