Eby can come across to a lot of people as a 'woke social justice academic' - and they just broadly assign 'socialism' to a whole ton of that.
And as we've said, Eby's incompetence as a communicator meant he wasn't able to untangle that mess and carve out a different identity.

From 2020 to 2026 the BC NDP went from 13/17 of seats in Richmond/Delta/Surrey/Langley to 0/19. Thats a huge realignment and represents the majority of the change that happened in that period. If the NDP can't compete south of the Fraser River they may as well give up. #bcpoli

I am a member and I have donated countless times to the BC NDP.
Its my party as much as it is yours.
Whoever becomes leader we ALL need to back regardless of which wing of the party they represent. You could choose a far left leader and Id STILL vote NDP because stopping the cons is more important

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.

.@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

Now that this stupid election is over, lets get this NDP leadership underway.
I'd like to start by saying THE WEST WANTS IN

For those who blame vote splitting on left, looks like right may actually get slightly more votes if take Conservatives + OneBC and if include CentreBC almost certainly do. So for NDP its clear message need to moderate if want to win in 2030. No interest in hard left

He's not wrong. We saw this in the US. Conservatives flirt with extremists and hope to ride them to victory as long as possible. The Tea Party was a joke, and it made Trump a king.

@LDoerkson promised a fully costed platform before people started voting.
He missed his own deadline.
He loves to say "trust me when I say." Why should anyone, when he can't keep a promise he set for himself?
Where's the platform, Lorne? #BCpoli

weird how the Nazi-supporting, gay-hating, First-Nation-conquering candidates keep flocking to the Conservative Party and no other party.
I'm sure it's no reflection on the party itself just bad luck.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Katy - trauma and violence can impact us in so many ways. I'm the first to recognize that.
But two days later you reposted someone saying "Islam is a literal rape culture" and just last month you reposted "New Yorkers got a jihad-loving mayor."
These posts are all still up.
As a woman and a rape survivor, I was brought to tears reading the horrific accounts of the UK grooming gang scandals. Young girls were subjected to unimaginable sexual abuse, while authorities at multiple levels failed to protect them.
I was heartbroken, horrified, and angry. I abhor the people who perpetuated that violence justified by their extremist ideology.
I took down my original post within hours because my anger was directed at the extremism used to justify these horrific crimes, not at Muslims or their faith.

My mentions after I lightly made fun of and suggested someone worth $12 billion is not a victim
