Rustad needs to go if there is any hope of getting rid of Eby's NDP.

The NDP have a habit of self-destructing too, as the more radical members mismanage and drag the rest of them into chaos, so it's a fun watch party all round


Eby is a first-rate lawyer with extensive experience in matters dealing with human rights and civil liberties.

Yet a training in law doesn’t guarantee the ability to manage large complex organizations.

By contrast, Eby’s predecessor John Horgan had no legal background, yet he excelled at running the province.

Perhaps this is being overly critical of the premier. An NDP caucus can be a fractious group at the best of times, as Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark can attest.

There is not much correlation between outside expertise (lawyer, doctor, ex-general, businessman, financier, etc) and either electoral politics or statecraft. And since the former is the gateway to the latter, ending up with people good at statecraft is rare. Mostly what tells is character and sound moral and ideological premises.
