What is the NDP "in general"? If you mean the federal party, then absolutely the NDP is in favour of proportional representation, which is a big part of the federal party's policy in regards to reforming parliament.

If you mean there is a consensus among NDP sections, you are wrong. The BCNDP, remember, is not beholden to the federal party positions on federal issues; nor is the federal party beholden to BNDP postions on provincial issues.

 You seem to be having difficulty with the notion that provincial sections and the federal party may disagree. They always have, and always will.

 And if you are convinced that prop rep is a unqualified good in all instances, good for you. It doesn't matter to the argument about the propriety of the federal leader intervening in provincial issues.
