VIDEO: Kelowna Green Party candidate Bryce Tippe targets NDP over their platform

You almost need a degree in political science to follow the recent events in BC politics and the Green Party has just the candidate.

Bryce Tippe recently graduated from UBCO with a poli-sci degree and he is running for the Greens in Kelowna Centre.

"I got into it because I felt like there was a disconnect between the people in power and the voters," said Tippe.

The BC Green Party consistently gets about 15 to 20 percent of the vote, but nowhere near that level of representation.

So Tippe would like to see another attempt to change that.

"I'm really passionate about instituting reforms that allow for a more representative, responsive, transparent and accountable government," he said

British Columbians voted down a form of proportional representation called the Single Transferrable Ballot in 2018.

Many found it too complicated.

Tippe believes that is designed to fail.

"The over-complicated it so that people didn't want to do it," he said. "It's politics."

Of course, Tippe is concerned about environmental issues.

He points to predictions of significantly rising sea levels, and the need for plans to handle the issues that is expected to create.

"It's going to cause a giant refugee crisis," said Tippe.

"We've got to be able to have long-term solutions to these problems and I think the Green Party is the only one in this election that's actually doing that."

He talks about addressing the climate crisis while balancing the economic impact.

He said left-of-centre voters can't count on the NDP.

He said Premier Eby's comments about scrapping the Carbon Tax are confounding.

"I don't know what the NDP stand for anymore," he said. "They keep changing their policies."

Voters have until voting day, October 19, to make their choice.
