Adam Zivo: B.C. Conservatives make history, despite inconclusive election result

Minorities propelled the party to the cusp of victory, but Kevin Falcon's ineptitude may have prevented them from winning a majority

Although the B.C. election remains too close to call, one thing is clear: the B.C. Conservatives, under the leadership of John Rustad, have made historic gains with the help of minority voters.

By late Saturday night, the B.C. Conservatives found themselves elected, or leading, in 45 ridings. Meanwhile, the B.C. NDP were expected to win 46 seats (down from 55 before the election) and the Greens remained stagnant at two seats, despite their leader, Sonia Furstenau, failing to get re-elected.
