Also, the editorial misses the important point that a vibrant democracy is difficult to maintain where one Party wins too often despite the sort of failings described above.

Arguably, therefore, it's time for a change and: 

1. NDP failings stem as much from the same cause as those of the Liberals (i.e. the unearned partisan political success of the anti-CCF/NDP coalition since the beginning of WW II) as anything else.

2. The NDP is as or more ready to govern BC responsibility as the Liberals currently.
