Eby makes plea to Green voters to support NDP to help keep Conservatives from office
SQUAMISH, B.C. — New Democrat Leader David Eby is asking potential Green voters in British Columbia’s Oct. 19 election to support his party instead to help keep John Rustad’s B.C. Conservatives out of office.
Eby says Green and NDP voters must stick together this election to defeat the B.C. Conservatives, who are running a campaign of division, denial and plans to dismantle climate initiatives.
At a campaign event today in Squamish, the NDP leader asked Green voters to consider what B.C. would be like if they woke up the day after the election and Rustad’s B.C. Conservatives were going to form government.
Green Leader Sonia Furstenau, who has said she doesn’t expect her party to garner enough votes to form government, says electing Green candidates would ensure B.C. politics is not dominated by the NDP or Conservatives.
