Amid continuing uncertainty in Victoria, just over a quarter of British Columbians want to see a snap election, according to a new poll.

The Angus Reid Institute released its latest poll Tuesday morning and results show that while 29 per cent think B.C. should hold another election “right away” to deal with the hung government, most would prefer to “let the process play out.”

Greens believe there should be another election, while 55 per cent of Liberals, 89 per cent of NDP and 75 per cent of Greens think things should be allowed to play out in the legislature.

The possibility of a minority government is also viewed differently by many, with 84 per cent of Liberal supporters, unsurprisingly, noting that the “Liberals won the most seats and should use every rule and procedure in their power to prevent the NDP forming government.” Just four per cent of NDP and 20 per cent of Greens agree.
