Voters on Tuesday handed [I]three[/I] provincial legislative seats to the Green Party, in its best-ever electoral performance nationally, denying a majority to the ruling British Columbia Liberal Party or its main opponent, the left-leaning New Democratic Party.[/QUOTE]

The Liberals still might get a majority unfortunately, they lost it by [B]9[/B] votes, so don't be surprised if a recount gives em it.

There are still absentee ballots to count and several ridings are within the margin for an automatic recount. It could still change

It's not gonna be official for anything until the end of the month. Some of these vote margins are fucking single digit. I've never seen that.
