Abstract

The article focuses on the four-year alliance signed between British Columbia's governing New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Green Party following the October provincial election. Premier David Eby's NDP won 47 seats, just enough for a majority, while the Greens hold two seats and the Conservative Party secured 44 seats. The agreement, subject to annual renewal, commits the Greens to support the NDP on confidence votes and government bills, without the government losing legislative confidence if the pact ends. Key provisions include an accelerated review of environmental targets and the formation of an all-party committee to explore democratic engagement and revisit proportional representation.
