• Electoral reform advocates hopeful after B.C. election results
• B.C. Liberals hang on to power, could form minority government

There are any number of scenarios that could play out when all the ballots are finally counted on May 24.Will it be amajority government, a minority government or some kind of coalition?

And will the riding of Courtenay-Comoxdecide the outcome of the election after the recount?Right now, nobody knows.
