Strategic voting in Burnaby North—Seymour

Burnaby North—Seymour is a new riding in BC. Its creation has been controversial, since it combines parts of Burnaby—Douglas (which tend towards the NDP) and parts of North Vancouver such as Deep Cove and Seymour (which is reliably Conservative).

I f we transpose the results of the 2011 election into the new riding, the results would be CPC 44%, NDP 35%, Lib 16%, Green 4%.

A recent poll in the riding (Insights West, Sept. 9-13) suggests the riding is very close:  CPC 33%, NDP 37%, Lib 21%, Green 9%. 

Clearly strategic voters in Burnaby North—Seymour should vote NDP.
