Reflections:
Christy Clark squeaked by NDP David Eby for the victory in the byelection. It was a close finish for both rivals, but the final score was Clark 7,371 and Eby 6,776 and took the seat that previously belonged to premier Gordon Campbell. Clark was ahead of Eby in the beginning, but later Eby slightly took the lead but then we were a third of the way done Clark was leading by a single vote. It has been over three decades since a goverment candidate won in a B.C byelection, but the results will be official only on May 18, for those that dont know Christy Clark was elected premier of B.C after previous premier Gordon Campbell resigned, to received thsi prestigious honor she had to over come tough obstacles such as Steven Falcon, and Abott. David Eby is a lawyer known to be a advocate for anti-police protestors for the Vancouver and it was because of his role in the anti-olympic demonstration that he came to the point-grey Vancouver constituents to run in the byelection.
Christy Clark is now the official premier of B.C and I know that she will do a terrific job and try to restore some of the damage that Gordon Campbell has inflicted upon this province. Some example maybe the long term promises he didnt commit to and the debt that has brought upon this province.
