David Eby Urges Green Voters to Back NDP to Block Conservative Surge

British Columbia's NDP leader, David Eby, is making a direct appeal to Green Party supporters ahead of the province's upcoming election.

Eby is urging them to vote for the NDP to prevent the B.C. Conservatives, led by John Rustad, from gaining power. This comes as Kevin Falcon, leader of B.C. United, has suspended his party's campaign and thrown support behind the Conservatives to avoid splitting the center-right vote.

Eby warns that a Conservative government could drastically change the political landscape in B.C. and is positioning the NDP as the best option to counter this possibility.

It’s frustrating that we always have to settle for strategic voting instead of supporting the policies we actually believe in, but the last thing we need is a Conservative surge in B.C. pushing us backward.

Typical left-wing panic! They're scared because they know the people are waking up and rejecting their failed policies. Conservatives are the only ones offering real change, and the establishment can't handle it.

Here we go again with politicians telling people to vote out of fear instead of offering real solutions—how about just letting people vote for what they actually believe in?

B.C. Election: David Eby urges Green voters to support NDP to keep Conservatives from office

Kevin Falcon, leader of the official Opposition B.C. United, suspended his party’s election campaign in late August and asked his incumbents, candidates and supporters to back Rustad’s B.C. Conservatives in an effort to prevent a vote-split on the centre right that would favour the NDP.
