Canada

No problem! On CBC's introduction of Lewis:

Lewis, who lives in Vancouver, is the grandson of former federal NDP leader David Lewis and the son of former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis.

So it's not disqualifying or anything, he's his own person as much as anyone, but he does come from multiple generations of high profile leadership within the NDP.

Secondly, several of the provincial NDP leaders had been acclaimed to their position i.e. ran for leadership or nominated without any listed rival candidates for leader

• Marit Stiles, ONDP
• David Eby, BCNDP
• Kate White, YukonNDP

And in one of those cases there was animosity after Anjali Appadurai was disqualified from the race by BCNDP party execs.

That in addition to the federal NDP not performing well this year's election, in one part due to a fear of diet Maple MAGA but the other due to Singh and the party's workshopped messages weren't resonating with the public and some groups of voters taken for granted like youth and unions.

So I would imagine party members at large may be concerned with a potential continuation of "Let's fight the billionaires, corporations and wealthy in an unspecified manner!" "Let's say the word 'affordable' a lot but not connect it to anything concrete" (that's Poilievre's line right now) "We'll de-shittify your life somehow and make it better!" kinds of messages.

I wholeheartedly support Eby in BC, but every NDP-affiliated party should look inward, acknowledge and address reasonable concerns, and see how they could do better for Canadians as well as their members.
