State of the No HST Campaign in the CRD

Since the No HST people released data on how the campaign is going, I thought I would look at how things are going in the CRD.

• Riding              Party   15% mark  total   How close to 15%
• Esquimalt-RR         NDP     5540     4752     85.78%
• Juan de Fuca         NDP     4960     4350     87.7%
• Oak Bay-Gordon Head Liberal  5731     2985     52.09%
• Saanich North Isl   Liberal  6548     4785     73.08%
• Saanich South        NDP     5557     4180     75.22%
• Victoria-Beacon Hill NDP     6307     5253     83.29%
• Victoria-Swan Lake   NDP     5683     1933     34.01%

15% is higher than the 10% needed in each riding, but going for 15% allows for a margin of error to ensure success. Four of the ridings have managed to break the 10% mark, only Oak Bay Gordon Head and Victoria Swan Lake have not managed to get over the 10% hurdle
