Chicks dig the NDP



After being left for dead three years ago, the NDP pulls into a dead heat with the BC Liberals



The NDP is polling at 47% among B.C. women, compared to 30% for the Liberals, whereas men back the Liberals at 49% to the NDP's 32% - if there was ever a conclusive illustration as to what a bunch of pr**cks Liberal supporters are....



Support for the Green Party dropped from 11% to 8%, which, combined with the NDP's strong numbers should shut up anyone still talking about "renewing the left", as if the BC Greens were actually on the left. For those of you outside BC, put Mike Harris or Steven Harper in Birkenstocks, and that's pretty much the BC Green Party.



The scary numbers for the Liberals lie with Reform B.C. (5%), Social Credit (2%) and BC Unity (3%). That might not seem like a lot, but together it's 10% that can do some serious fundamentalist-hang-em-high-vote-splitting damage to Gordon Campbell once May 2005 rolls around.
