      Yeah if they don’t replace him with a populist then it’s a conservative majority coming soon

      The fact he won’t call an election shows me he is only in it for the pension.

        This is such a silly talking point, I can’t believe folks are actually parroting it seriously.

        Do y’all really not understand that he gets a pension if he keeps his deep orange seat next election? Just mind numbingly silly.

          If he loses his seat does he? He’s not going to win his seat again and he knows this

            He’s not going to win his seat again and he knows this

            What on Earth are you basing that on?

            Burnaby South is an NDP stronghold, last election Sing won by ten points, with the Liberals in 2nd.

            Even in what was basically a bloodbath for the BC provincial NDP this year, the NDP swept all the Burnaby ridings.

            And his seat has been redistricted so as the leader of the party, he’ll be put in a nearby safe seat.

            So I ask you, where on Earth are you getting this silliness from?

                  Can’t wait to say I told you so when he loses his seat to the CPC

                  Voters here like the provincial NDP, not the federal NDP. They’re far from the same thing. Besides, the only reason they barely won is because Eby is like really based. He should run for federal NDP, would be easy win.

                    Think through the logic and facts of what you’re proposing.

                    1. Singh is the leader of the party and will thus be given a safe seat.

                    2. Burnaby has multiple such seats, that 338 agrees will probably stay orange.

                    So, what is the path you envision in which Singh loses his seat? An absolute bloodbath for the NDP that goes beyond anything observed in the polls thus far? An internal revolt in the NDP? Magic?
