A strong minority are unquestionably socialist,with probably 30% of voters sympathetic to marxism (or neo-marxism if you will) and the NDP/Green strength, election after election, reflects this. Consequently, the radical leftists are comfortable with what's on offer as they know they will once again be in power. In the meantime, they are happy to control education, the unions, and a good chunk of the upper bureaucracy. Alternatively, BC is not the centrist province your analysis assumes.

Carole James resigns once she loses this election. Jim Sinclair (BC Fed of Labour) wins the leadership race, and excludes non-union members from the party. The NDP thereafter goes the way of the dodo bird. Principled NDP MLAs jump to the Liberals or Greens. Meanwhile, the BC Conservatives move closer to the center, find a solid leader, steal a few conservative MLAs, and threaten the Liberals for government. One can dream...
