In looking at the results, in this region the Greens took vote almost in equal proportions from the NDP and the Liberals. In the strongest three Green races the party took an almost equal number of votes from the NDP and Liberals. Vote splitting is not going on here.

Andrew Weaver pulled more from Liberals than the NDP. If the NDP could have managed to get their identified vote from 2009 and 2005 out to vote, they would have won.
He also won convincingly. I put this down to one major factor I saw in few other places, a large team of active volunteers.

Esquimalt Royal Roads - NDP Hold - the riding changed too much to allow a comparison to 2005

Here the drift seems to be from the NDP to the Greens, though nothing dramatic.
Juan de Fuca - NDP Hold - the riding has changed too much to allow a comparison to 2005
Elect. Vote NDP Liberals Greens
2013 23,140 12,388 53.32% 7,120 30.27% 3,682 16.91%
2009 19,278 11,008 57.10% 6,624 34.36% 1,646 8.54%
All three parties vote went up but the lowest rise was for the Liberals and the largest for the Greens.
When you look at the CRD overall there is no evidence that Greens are more of a threat to the NDP than the Liberals. There is also clear evidence that the Greens have the capacity to win more than one seat here in 2017.
