Liberal voters will vote regardless of what happens. They protested last time and refused to vote for Christy Clark. Some I knew voted Green but they will vote Liberal
NDP voters will need to come out of they hope to have a chance in hell.
I would have voted NDP but their stupid handling of COVID19, cancellation of the Massey Bridge and now selfish snap election will force me Green.

Eh, COVID-19 isn't what I ding them for, they've done fine thanks to Henry.
I dislike their anti-infrastructure (and by nature the jobs and economic boost that it gives the province) stance and thought their opposition to Site C and TMX were colossal wastes of tax dollars and time, even going around to dicking with the Federal government that approved it and indirectly causing tax paying Canadians to now be owners of a 4.5 billion dollar pipeline. Blank cheques to the legal teams I guess. That and the Massey Tunnel delay as well as halting fixed link explorations I'm not a fan of. The Libs had greenlit most of these projects. Housing costs are still way up and would likely be the same spot it's in now if the election went the other way in 2017.
I'm usually a BC Liberal voter (but Federal Lib) that went NDP for the first time in 2017 in a mildly competitive riding in Metro Van, for the same reasons as many, just to shake out some of the rot and corruption. I don't think my daily life improved as a result of a Horgan government and may go back to Liberals this time because of the terribly ill timing of this call.
Honestly I'm not that partisan in provincial politics, as both Liberals and NDP are competent parties from my observation and can run the province fine, if in different strokes with different weaknesses.
Wilkinson by the way is a doctor, lawyer and Rhodes scholar, the kind of intellectual credentials people praise nowadays in leadership. He just has the personality of a damp towel but that isn't a good enough reason alone to vehemently dislike him.
