Not sure why it' such a devastating blow to the BC Liberals.  They have been in power for 16 years, have an unpopular leader and were 12 points behind in the polls quite recently.  I would say this is a devastating blow to the NDP who once again cannot create a platform and get the support needed to form a majority government.

If Christy Clarke plays this correctly she could give the Greens lots of attention (which they crave)and make the BCNDP history.
