Why is there so much CPC stability? is this a function of their voters not being persuadable from the center? existing in their own media ecosystem (as in the US)?

May be the wrong thread, but with this race tightening I am wondering if you have any insight on the West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast - Sea to Sky riding in BC. Liberals have won it the past 2 elections, with Conservatives and Greens being strong in 2019. In the recent provincial election the Green candidate lost the seat by only 16 votes to the BC Liberal incumbent. To throw things entirely on its head, this election the NDP have a 'star' candidate in Avi Lewis, a well known documentary filmmaker. There is even a letter, Greens for Avi, from many prominent environmental activists (David Suzuki being one) supporting him over the Green candidate. With 4 strong candidates and quite a diverse riding, will it really just be a two horse race between Liberals and Conservatives? Will the Conservatives benefit from a split vote of progressives between Green, NDP, & Liberal?
