It was an upbeat and reflective Stephen Johnston in the wake of a third-place finish in West Kelowna-Peachland on election night (Oct. 19).

91裸聊视频淚 was at peace coming into the end of the day here,91裸聊视频� Johnston said about 90 minutes after the polls closed. 91裸聊视频淚 knew I had done everything I could. I had a wonderful team behind me, a deep bench of great people.91裸聊视频�
 
It was Johnston91裸聊视频檚 first run at provincial politics. He garnered 5,511 votes (21.34 per cent) as an independent candidate. He finished behind B.C. NDP candidate Krystal Smith (7,118 votes/27.56 per cent) and winner Conservative Party of B.C. candidate Macklin McCall (13,194/51.09 per cent).

91裸聊视频淚 thought the results would be a little bit different than they were,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 okay, not the day I guess.91裸聊视频�

He also said that Rustad let the province down. 

91裸聊视频淚f he had actually done what he and Kevin misled us to believe, which is form a strong party out of the B.C. United candidates, it would be a lop-sided victory right now in the Conservative's favour.91裸聊视频�

Johnston said he doesn91裸聊视频檛 have much faith in the NDP either.

91裸聊视频淚 think the policies they have in place are hurting B.C. If we don91裸聊视频檛 unwind some of the things they91裸聊视频檝e been doing, getting our budget and spending under control we91裸聊视频檙e going to be in a rough place.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 think it was run very well. We need to get there in B.C. This idea of 50 per cent plus one equals 100 per cent of the power, it91裸聊视频檚 not an accountable model.91裸聊视频�

Johnston added he has no regrets about this election and will return to his city council seat next week.
