Sure, but I know my friend, the only thing he's not is a communist or fascist that leaves him open to center-right, center, center-left, and left. Almost non of those meet that description.

There are literally six choices apart from the big 2 that meet that description that’s 54% of them, you didn’t actually look at the choices.

Yeah I forgot, but after giving one to speaker position, they need a green party vote.

They do not since the speaker can use their vote to break a tie.

Afaik only 5 of them are non-extremist, BC Strong is extremist, "Freedom Party of British Columbia" is also extremist, "Party of Citizens Who Have Decided To Think For Ourselves & Be Our Own Politicians" also sounds extremist af.
I said our districts didn't have any of those.

You don’t actually know how many people support these parties since everyone is forced to strategically vote

That was mainly countering this, my point was that I know his views and positions on individual issues.

Also, sure the NDP has a one seat majority, but they still signed a cooporation agreement with the greens because a 1 seat majority leaves them vulnerable af.

2 people are hardly indicative of the province and the 2 big political parties have wealthy donors who can afford to donate consistently and the media outlets have popularity thresholds for debate eligibility.

Ask yourself why the debates often only have 3 contestants in attendance.

It’s much harder for everyday people to hear about the smaller parties in general as they do not have the donations or candidates to be visible enough.

At least we have vote subsidies to even the playing field a bit.

I never pretended 2 people represented the province, I only gave an anecdote.

Stop trying lecture every time you reply.
