Weaver has had the advantage of weakening, Horgan-led (for the last 3 years), New Dinosaur Party. Andy's biggest advantage is that he has been able to pick & choose which direction to take on various issues, and not beholden by an obsolete party executive from the 1990s, like those that rule NDP members like psycho-pathicical shop stewards.

This election is simple a stepping stone for the Greens. Weaver will now be joined by a few members and will need to consolidate that momentum over the next four years and attract more talented candidates. This election, the Greens are usung a lot of teachers to fill in the ballots. That's baggage moving forward.

Remember, it's not one way up; Greens have been around for a third of a century in BC and have risen and declined.

If they Greens are really savvy, they will also continue the momentum they have with the media, as 'effective' opposition, and maybe attract a couple of NDP candidates who are smart enough to abandon that s(t)inking ship.
