According to who? Horgan called the election four days after the Greens picked a new leader. Sorry but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
The timing of the Furstenau's leadership only adds to my point. At least with Andrew Weaver Horgan knew where he stands, there was history between the two. An idea of expectations and speculations.
I can't really blame the NDP for wanting to have control in what will be arguably a very difficult year. He would need to negotiate on every little policy with a party with 3 seats and a brand new leader.
I'm not John Horgan to know exactly what is in his head, but I think painting him as power-hungry isn't completely fair. There was pragmatism in his decision to call an election and I think you're refusing to acknowledge it.
As for 'according to who'... I'm not sure which part of my post you're referring to. I made several points.
