| Description | The BC NDP and Greens have formed an agreement to topple Premier Christy Clark’s fragile minority government at the earliest opportunity after sealing a pact over the parties’ shared opposition to resource projects such as the Kinder Morgan pipeline and Site C hydroelectric dam.
NDP Leader John Horgan and Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver announced they have negotiated a deal that would allow an NDP minority government to survive a four-year term. The combined alliance would lead to a governing arrangement with a margin of only a single seat over the Liberals. The balance of power is that much more precarious considering that any new government must appoint a Speaker of the House. |
