Your beloved BC No Development Party(NDP) actually raised more cash than the BC Grits.


QuoteCampaign finance reports released yesterday by Elections BC show that the NDP raised more money than the Liberals for the last election.



The NDP raised 9.3 million for the election, compared to the 8.3 million raised by the incumbent Liberals, who went on to secure a fourth straight majority government on May 14.

Fuck the No Development Party(NDP). They raised huge amounts of cash running on a no science, no to every industrial project that would help all Canadians. Sour grapes because they lost the election.

Shen Li - the figures I cited are for the year 2014... a year after the election. Individual donations for the NDP had a big drop in 2014,

probably because supporters were pissed off the party did not win the 2013 election....which most polls predicted.

True, money follows a winner. If they surge in the polls before the next election the No Development Party will be back like pigs at the money trough.
