Change +178 +724 +1,897 0 +2,799
The Liberals lost two seats, one to the NDP and one to the Greens.
What I find interesting in these results is that while the Greens gained a lot of support the NDP was clearly not the majority of this new support.
Only two NDP MLAs saw their vote increase, John Horgan and Lana Popham though the losses for the other three was not dramatic. Victoria Swan Lake and Esquimalt Royal Roads were the two ridings in which the NDP vote dropped more than the Liberal vote.
The Green vote more than doubled in five of the seven ridings. Only in Juan de Fuca was the Green vote increase less than the increase in total voters. The Greens not only won one seat, but came second in two. In all of BC in the election 2009 no Green did better than third and in 2005 a single Green managed to come second.
In five of seven seats the Greens managed to get more than 20% of the vote. Only 16 BC Green candidates have ever managed to get over 20% of the vote in eight elections. Three of the Greens in the CRD managed over 33% of the vote, never before has any BC Green managed more than 27.01%
