New BC Political Discussion - POST BC Election 2017

[Cypherus]

There will be voter backlash against Horgan calling an election during a pandemic in order to capitalize on his polling numbers and obviate any potential for a lower electoral performance next year. I am for one, turned off with his decision. It's a self-interested power grab during a time where people lost their jobs, struggling with physical and mental issues, and realigning their schedules to stay afloat and maintain household balance.

Him suggesting Covid 19 is hear to stay until next year, so let's have the election now, is farcical. There is a lot that can change between now and then (vaccines, etc.), so that's not a valid reason. As well, it just fuels conspiracies that the government is using Covid to shape politics and societies. Lastly, it's like we are told the virus is serious, with Dr. Henry inculcating others to be mindful about preventing the spreading of Covid 19, except for when an election is called - then the risk during that process is now not as important.
