Sure, but my point wasn't about the leaders representing the caucuses.

"Both caucuses recognize that, in order to promote the greater stability, the government must be able to negotiate with the three BC Green Party MLAs as a single, recognized caucus."

Andrew Weaver became an independent in January 2020 and by all accounts there was a lot of in-fighting between the Greens (why else did he suddenly change his mind about remaining as leader until they find a new leader, and why else would he burn it down and endorse Horgan).

A main criteria of the agreement was stability and 3 Green party MLA's.  When that went out the window, so did the agreement.  So yes, Horgan started planning accordingly.

What evidence do you have that the agreement wasn't being honoured other than Horgan's word? Do you really expect me to believe the Greens would have brought the government down over $10 daycare, because I don't. Do you?

I listened to an interview of Weaver by Lynda Steele I think, just before the election was called. He said he would support anything Horgan did and no matter how hard she tried to get an actual position, all he did was deflect. She tried to tie him down on several different issues and all he did was dance. I got to thinking, why is he wasting her time by even coming on and why am I wasting my time listening? The only opinion he had was that he had no opinion, on anything. I never did like the guy and now I know why.

I'd like to see the Greens become a real force in BC. After 70 years of the same old, same old, it would be refreshing.
