The British Columbia NDP appears to have fended off the Conservative surge by a razor thin margin and will form the next provincial government, CBC News projects.

Whether the party forms a minority or majority government is still uncertain.

I dislike majority governments, but I also hate the idea of a party that wins 8% of the vote holding all the cards, and only the seats from 2 of the wealthiest areas in the province.

I agree on all fronts.

We need a better system in BC, and across Canada, that would see proportional representation in our Government.

That's a really good answer. Thanks!
