If the NDP still represented the working class the way it used to, Conservatives wouldn't have the advantage they do.

Carney has now stopped the mass immigration, while the NDP never saw anything wrong with it. Yet who was being helped aside from corporations and asset holders?
The BC Conservatives under Rustad basically rode in under novelty in 2024. There's a sense of weariness of the Eby government and a mix of credible and meritless reasons to not like him.
We'll see if it's possible for the BC Con caucus to elect a remotely "normal" person and not a fanatic, then the NDP will be under a big threat in the next election, despite Conservatives' internal divisions and fringe elements.
For the BC-NDP, they are doing some things right, but I think I'm not the only supporter that wants to see more and bolder action in the face of adverse times, instead of holding onto the status quo. For example the time change is a small cost, mostly political, but was a big step towards making BC better for its own sake regardless of the lethargy of outside governments. Just because we're years from an election and dealing with the sensitive Cowichan issue, doesn't mean Eby should stop our big talk and big walk on doing big things for British Columbia.
I couldn't vote for the conservatives in BC, they are maple maga and i've no use for those kinds of people. NDP do need to step it up though.
