Opinion: BC NDP implosion is close to detonation

'There are two possibilities ahead.'

One way or another, it will be unlike any self-inflicted political bind you’ve seen.

The second option, and the most likely, is that the party will squirm and wiggle and find technicalities to derail her victory by either disqualifying her as a candidate and/or vast numbers of the new members as ineligible voters.If you’re a rival, this is when you savour a delicious game to watch.If you’re simply an observer, this is when you realize that a party’s establishment behaves the same no matter its stripes. It is uncomfortable with an outsider. It can’t take upheaval.

It plans to do so, in part, by disqualifying new members if they were or even had been Green Party members. In the last two weeks it has been asking people it suspects were Greens to prove within a couple of days they are no longer so. Rather than a spot-check, it’s more of a full-fledged audit. Given that people switch parties all the time, this would be quite the strike on the newcomers if they suddenly can’t cast NDP leadership ballots.
