B.C. voters opted for 'anything but'
The great thing about political punditry is the ability to be right and wrong at the same time and get away with it, which is why the pundits who were no better at predicting the outcome of the B.C. election shouldn't be expected to be any better at interpreting the results.

Guilt cracks statistical confidence limits
Mea culpa. I have no truly honourable choice other than to admit my guilt.
Can Clark the Campaigner govern?
Along with pretty much everyone else, I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.
Jane Shin should resign
I am surprised that the NDP, a party that prides itself on its ethics and integrity, would allow a person of such low ethical standards to represent it.
Shin needs to come out of hiding
I am writing to you about Jane Shin with the B.C. NDP for Burnaby-Lougheed.
Pundits were wrong about Libs
Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal Party campaign brain trust), I thought the election this week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.
Why it's good the polls failed
The poll that came closest to calling the result right in Tuesday's provincial election was still wildly wrong. A Forum Research poll done six days before the vote showed a mere two-point gap between the Liberals and the NDP. Of course, it still had the NDP out in front, not losing by almost five per cent in the popular vote and 17 seats in the Legislature.
B.C. election polls way off
The pollsters, and even the New Democrats, did not take into account the advantages of incumbency, while Christy Clark's Liberals were all too cognizant of its disadvantages. The NDP took the highroad, campaigning as though victory was assured, while the Liberals made the election less about polarizing issues like the HST, but rather economic sustainability.

The people have spoken
Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal party campaign brain trust), I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.
How Clark proved me wrong
Well, I was wrong. Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal party campaign brain trust) I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.
Delighted to be gobsmacked
We could wring our editorial hands over the low voter turnout - although it did bump up by a miniscule one per cent this time.
NDP deserved second finish
The NDP lost this election because they are poor managers of the province's economy [Dyson, Mercier make do with second place, May 16, Langley Advance].
Delighted to be so very wrong
We could wring our editorial hands over the low voter turnout-although it did bump up by a miniscule one per cent this time.
