John Reynolds will win this high-income conservative riding by a good margin.

While it is true that upper crust nouveau riche West Vancouver will probably stick with ex-Tory/Socred cabinet minister Reynolds. However, the rest of the riding (Sunshine Coast, Bowen Island, Powell River) will deliver a large number of votes to the NDP or Liberals; the heavily-unionised population won't stand for the Alliance's newly-expressed anti-Union policies.

How good a margin, don't know. Despite the dominant image of super-uppidy-duppidy-class and eternally conservative West Van (and the fact that it's familiar turf for Reynolds, federally and provincially), Reform wasn't much over 5 points from Liberal in '97--and what's more, they were virtually even in West Van itself! Still, synonymousness will get you a long way, and both John Reynolds and conservative parties "of record" are synonymous w/West Van affluence. Though flukes happen...

The Sunshine coast part and Powell River and Squamish/Whistler/Pemberton areas are all ripe turf for the Liberals. The NDP vote has collapsed in the province and the Liberasl are way up on 1997. This is one of about 6-10 ridings that they will win away from the Reform Party.
