Keith BaldreyGUEST
Um, and she could attract some of those soft NDP voters out there.
Keith BaldreyGUEST
Now, some of that'll be offset by some of the OneBC candidates who, you know, these people are not gonna win the seats, but they're gonna take votes from one side of the ledger or the other, and I think there's gonna be a fair amount of vote splitting on both sides, uh, c- on October 24th.
Keith BaldreyGUEST
So the question is, who's gonna be suffer the most?
Jas JohalHOST
We are speaking to Keith Baldrey, Global BC's legislative bureau chief, uh, for our weekly segment Inside the House.
Keith BaldreyGUEST
Um, and she could attract some of those soft NDP voters out there.

Keith BaldreyGUEST
And the question is, who's gonna be suffer the most?
Bill TielemanGUEST
That's one reason.
Bill TielemanGUEST
But- Look, the Conservatives threw Dallas Brodie for, who started OneBC, threw her out for her comments about residential school denialism.
Bill TielemanGUEST
Tara Armstrong, uh, who was then an- an MLA for the Conservatives, not running this time, quit after that, as did Jordan Keely, and joined her briefly and then set up off on their own.
Bill TielemanGUEST
Uh, there's been stories about what Conservatives have been doing, and there's some stories out there on NDP stuff, but I, I haven't seen the Conservative Party come up with anything recent, um, you know, which is, uh, just not the same as, as what's happening.
Philippe J. FournierHOST
And finally we had the Leger, uh, Leger poll that had a two-point lead for the Conservatives, similar to Research, so 42 Conservative, 40 NDP, nine Greens.
Philippe J. FournierHOST
Eric, um, okay, well, I didn't mention Centre BC and OneBC, but they, they really don't have close to a full slate, so those numbers-
Eric GrenierHOST
Yeah
Philippe J. FournierHOST
... ugh, you know, probably will shrink on election day.
Eric GrenierHOST
Uh, so that is probably gonna benefit the, um, the NDP a little bit.
Eric GrenierHOST
Uh, but not enough, I don't think, to make a huge difference.
Eric GrenierHOST
The, you mentioned Centre BC and OneBC.
Eric GrenierHOST
They both got a tiny little clip at the end of the debate, which was an interesting touch.
Adam StirlingHOST
Um, certainly there will be residents who voted for him while he was mayor and recognize him as the mayor of View Royal who might also be interested in supporting him for MLA.
Adam StirlingHOST
Uh, will we see OneBC even come close to striking distance of any seat in the province? They're only on the ballot in one of the seven ridings here on South Vancouver Island.
Adam StirlingHOST
That's Juan de Fuca-Malahat.
Adam StirlingHOST
Dana Lajeunesse, the NDP MLA former Sooke counselor, currently the incumbent.
Adam StirlingHOST
The Conservatives were very close, very close to taking that riding in 2024, as you and I know.
Adam StirlingHOST
But there was no OneBC in existence at that point to split the Conservative vote.
Adam StirlingHOST
And this time there will be, giving an edge to the New Democrats.
Adam StirlingHOST
Although it sounds sort of odd to think that OneBC's existence helps the NDP, in our first-past-the-post electoral system, it objectively can do so depending on how the vote's split.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
Loewen got there.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
Eleanor Sterko of Centre BC, Dallas Brodie of OneBC didn't do it.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
Uh, Sterko didn't really have time, in fairness, but that's the reason they're not there.
Vaughn PalmerGUEST
Loewen is there on the set.
Mario CansecoGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Jim CsekHOST
And then we also have OneBC that has, you know, like, obviously Dallas Brodie is pretty popular.
Jim CsekHOST
And then the Greens, will they pull back enough af- you know, as David Eby walks away, uh, from his Greens scheme there and, and more towards LNG? Does the, does the Greens take back some of that?
Mario CansecoGUEST
Um, well, uh, there's a couple of problems for the Greens.
Mario CansecoGUEST
Elenore Sturko running in Surrey, and also Andrew Weaver running in Southern Vancouver Island.
Mario CansecoGUEST
So those are the two seats where essentially you could have a scenario where, uh, if they get elected, they could be, uh, they could have a major role in, in defining what the policy would look like if this is a close election.
Mario CansecoGUEST
Um, OneBC could actually be a spoiler in specific areas.
Mario CansecoGUEST
You know, they are running some candidates in Southern BC, some candidates in the Fraser Valley that could climb the charts enough, uh, to actually benefit the NDP.
Rob ShawHOST
Another issue to canvas here, three polls out yesterday with ResearchCo, Ipsos, and Palace all producing new data for the BC political nerds to analyze.
Rob ShawHOST
ResearchCo having the Conservatives at forty-four percent decided voters, the NDP at forty-two percent, the Greens at eight, and OneBC at Center, BC at two percent each.
Rob ShawHOST
The Ipsos and Palace polls more around the forty-three percent Conservative, thirty-eight percent NDP, so a wider five-point lead.
Rob ShawHOST
Slightly higher for the Greens at eleven percent, four to five percent for OneBC, and two percent for Center BC.
Rob ShawHOST
Interestingly, this is the first time in Palace that Lauren Dirksen, the Conservative leader, is leading David Eby in who folks would consider to be the best premier for the province.
Rob ShawHOST
Still a lot of undecideds on Dirksen, but slumping popularity for David Eby, uh, as his personal approval ratings in this election have only gone downward.
Elenore SturkoGUEST
of attitude within his own party i think that he had an opportunity to red light some of these individuals to bring in new members they offered me to come back i think most people by now know that but i just couldn't go back and and to support an organization that would continue to allow this type of belief to be platform within its party
Rob FaiHOST
Okay, so you go off and now you're the leader of CentreBC, yourself and OneBC's Dallas Brody, both elected MLAs leading registered parties, but neither of you are in Wednesday's televised leader debate.
Rob FaiHOST
I'm curious to know how that makes you feel.
Rob FaiHOST
I mean, polling numbers aside, I would assume that you want to be on that stage.
