Greens/Weaver May Prop Up Liberals
It is remarkable that Andrew Weaver would even consider propping up the Liberals.
Green voters need to consider this carefully.

Just as they should carefully consider the author of this message, and his motives, given that you are and have been an NDP shill for eons, thus your suggestion is purely self serving and biased.
I detect some 2013 deja vu.

The Green party has a better platform, and a better leader. The NDP should be worried, they have a nonsensical platform and a poor leader.
I found it telling when Keith Baldry interviewed Andrew Weaver, that Weaver reluctantly admitted that Horgan "had exploded on him" several times. Leaders don't "explode on people". To me, that is the final nail in determining what I suspected - that Horgan would make a terrible premier.

Meh, makes sense to me.
Most folks would rather be shot in the foot than in the face.
The Liberal suck, but the NDP are dangerous.

Consider it carefully and still vote Green you mean? What else would they vote?

Weaver will lose solid Green voters for suggesting he could prop up Clark.
What if the major parties are tied?

Re: Greens/Weaver May Prop Up Liberals
Weaver won't lose Green supporters because Green supporters come from Liberals and NDP. They are not entrenched in ideology and partisanship but good policy. Propping up either party will allow the Greens to bring sensible policy and filter the union and corporate interest on either side. To be a minority with Greens on either side is a win for BC. A majority from either the other two is a disaster scenario.

Why would he lose support? Who is he supposed to prop up? The NDP? Gross!!

This is where we differ on the Watermelon Party. Like all parties, the Watermelons are definitely entrenched in ideology, or in this case an actual religion, the Church of Global Warming. Their policies of taxing people making over $108,000 is neither fair nor equitable and least of all "good". I would say it's the opposite of "good" in fact. But that aside, if you can't bring yourself to vote Liberal, at least make your vote count and don't vote NDP. Any vote that isn't NDP is a good one.

So what. He's always screaming. The only thing that changes is which one of his four houses he is screaming from.
