I thought Conroy would top 70% last time...instead she lost a few votes, falling from 66% in 2009 to 63% in 2013. Whatever...it was still good enough for a 3-1 win over her Liberal opponent. Interesting to see if the bleed of NDP votes in the interior continues here, but there is no doubt the NDP holds the seat.

The safest NDP riding in the interior is simply not on the radar for the BCL.

Katrina Conroy utterly dominated this riding last time, winning by almost forty percent. There is no reason to think, barring a total NDP collapse that she doesn't win this.
