Vancouver Civic Politics...The End Of The NPA?

Former NPA mayoral candidate Ken Sim, who left the party in a huff, apparently, at least in part, due its hard right turn awhile back, has constituted his own party with other disaffected civic pol types, types who are actually elected councillors at the moment.

So.

Who benefits from a for real split on the right side of the CoV ledger?

Conventional wisdom will likely weigh in saying that this all but ensures Mr. Stewart and friends will have a relatively easy ride this fall.

After all, this development is essentially like having a guy named John Coupar Mellencamp getting himself on the ballot and hiring a thousand buses, or some such James not Jim-type thing.

But...

One can only wonder if Marky-Mark will soon start spouting off about how he is the only one who can be the uniter in this town.

And why not?

After all, M-M's Wiki page is as clean as a whistle these days.

Update, Monday evening: Hmmmm...Looks like Marky-Mark's charmingly offensive charm-offensive has already begun...
