The short answer is no. Eby and the BC NDP keep chasing a mythical voter who will never vote for them. They’ve always been a Centre-Left party, but shearing off the flank was and remains a bold choice.
Eby has been a great disappointment and next election is likely going to end up with him being the big loser. The BC Green’s making a left turn is going to eat into the BC NDP base just enough to split.
Which I have zero empathy for. The BC NDP could have changed the voting system multiple times, and its failed to institute democratic reforms that are in their own self interest. So they’re the masters of their own demise.

David Eby had went on record to say he was against proportional representation coming from a guy who had a leadership race without competition.
