“And many of those are still undecided. I think in rural British Columbia, it’s a little different than urban,” says Mike Bernier, who has opted to run as an Independent candidate. “People know the candidates. So there’s been a lot more support for the individual or for the person in a lot of our rural ridings. They’ve got those relationships. They have built up that trust factor. And that’s why election after election, there’s that core group that always seems to show up.”

Bernier says the same cannot, however, be said for the larger urban centres where most people don’t know their MLA never did.

“It’s a name on the ballot and they’re voting for the party or the policies of the party. And now the problem is, is we have to remember the B.C. Liberals than B.C. United were the largest party in the province, British Columbia, when it came to supporters and members larger than the NDP. Those people feel a little disenfranchised now.”
