Bullshit cope. If you look at the swing in Surrey from 2020 to 26 and your conclusion is “NDP supporters must not have been excited by Eby’s neoliberalism” you know nothing about my city or BC politics.
I’m not supporting West for ideological reasons, I’m supporting him because I just saw the NDP get obliterated in the suburbs and now we need someone who can undo the damage Eby has done to the NDP’s reputation.
If that means supporting Brad West, so be it.
Average NDP to Con voter: “I think David Eby was too far left”
Meanwhile, leftists online for some reason: “What voters really want is my particular brand of socialism.”
NDP have taken the lead in Ladysmith-Oceanside.
Once the mail ballots are counted the lead should be strong enough to avoid a recount.
I don’t understand decrim deadenders
Even if you think the policy is not actually bad, how is it worth completely torching the NDP’s credibility with minority voters? It might take a long time to earn that trust back!
“I wish Canadians would learn more” Well there’s your mistake.
Asking voters to educate themselves will fail 100% of the time. We lost on this issue, badly, we have to let it go.
The NDP govt made a lot of mistakes, but imo the biggest was drug decrim. Now every time someone sees a junkie on the street they blame directly at the NDP.
The next leader needs to say this was a mistake in the most unambiguous way possible.

John Horgan (RIP) got the NDP elected as a super likeable guy & governed pretty much from the centre
Forced the oppo BC Libs to the right
Controlled (mostly) the ideologues in caucus
Eby never had that gift, couldn’t keep caucus, & left the centre open to Doerksen.
Conservatives pushing 60% in the heavily South Asian Surrey ridings.
I live in Surrey, and I just think a traditional NDPer is going to have a hard time winning this seat back without some serious directional changes.
Why won’t CBC call this? A 700
vote lead is not going to be overturned.
Are they in that disbelief that the NDP could actually flip a seat?
He’s not even 2nd. Glen Clark and Ujjal Dosanjh were worse if you can believe it.
The 90s NDP were really that bad.

.@BowinnMa who has served as infrastructure minister says she understands why @Dave_Eby called #BCElection2026 ; rules out leadership bid, citing the toll the job takes on families. #bcpoli
If you told me the Conservatives were going to get 60+ seats, I’d have thought this might be one of them.
Yes it’s a traditional NDP stronghold, but this seat demographically should not be. Interesting that the NDP held on here fairly well.
Mail will probably flip Ladysmith-Oceanside. Maybe Cowichan Valley and Kelowna Centre as well. No shot anywhere else.
Honestly the worst thing is the NDP losing seats they’ve held since 2005.
Maillardville, Newton, Saanich South, Burnaby Center, I’m really sad about these losses.

Now that this stupid election is over, lets get this NDP leadership underway.
I'd like to start by saying THE WEST WANTS IN
I agree and I disagree.
An attention seeker who loves the spotlight? Yeah, definitely, but I think his politics are genuine. He’s a moderate labour old school NDP. Like Harcourt.
