Regional Profile
The Fraser Valley is traditionally one of the most socially conservative areas in British Columbia, although it is slowly becoming more liberal as urban sprawl extends eastward. This region has been dominated by the Conservatives and the former Reform and Canadian Alliance parties in recent elections, and the Conservatives still hold 8 of the 10 seats. Nonetheless, the Liberals and, the New Democratic Party have made inroads recently in the western parts of the region, while Conservative support remains very strong from the more rural ridings of Langley eastward. In 2011, the Liberals lost their remaining seat in the region, while the NDP picked up two seats in Surrey.
