===British Columbia===
* [[1991 British Columbia general election]] – End of [[Social Credit Party of British Columbia|Social Credit]] as an effective political force in British Columbia politics. The Socreds under Premier [[Rita Johnston]] was reduced to third party status, while the [[New Democratic Party of British Columbia|New Democratic Party]] of [[Michael Harcourt|Mike Harcourt]] formed the government. [[British Columbia Liberal Party|Liberal Party]] leader [[Gordon Wilson (British Columbia politician)|Gordon Wilson]] surprised observers by leading his party to winning one-third of the votes cast. This was enough to not only return them to the legislature, but make them the [[official opposition]].
* [[2001 British Columbia general election]] - The centre-right coalesced around the [[British Columbia Liberal Party|BC Liberal Party]], which won 77 of 79 seats and 57.6% of the popular vote. This essentially rebuilt much of the Socred coalition around the BC Liberal Party. At the same time, the NDP faced significant unpopularity after several scandals (such as the [[Fast Ferry Scandal]]), and failed to break the Liberal majority until [[2017 British Columbia general election|2017]].
* [[2024 British Columbia general election]] - The centre-right rallied around the [[Conservative Party of British Columbia|Conservative Party of BC]], which won 44 of 93 seats and 43.28% of the popular vote. The first time the party won seats in almost 50 years and it best electoral performance in 72 years. The election saw the once dominate [[BC United|BC United (formerly the BC Liberals)]], who served as the official opposition, withdraw from the race before the election to avoid splitting the vote.
