Could the BC Greens have replaced the BC NDP in 2001?

[Vosem]

So, yeah. The BC Liberals, the province's main right-wing party, utterly destroyed the BCNDP, the province's main left-wing party, in 2001, winning the seat count 77-2 and the popular vote 58%-22%. The NDP bounced back in the next general election, in 2005, losing the seat count 46-33 and the popular vote 46%-42%. However, in 2001, another left-wing party, the Greens, won 12% of the vote (but no seats). The Greens did not gain their first seat until 12 years later, when by targeting individual seats they scored 1 victory on 8% of the vote.

If the Greens had localized their campaign more in 2001, could they have beaten the BC NDP in the seat count? And if they had, could/would they have replaced the NDP as the province's main left-wing party? What repercussions would this have on the federal level (if any)?

1 possible however outside of Powell river-sunshine coast I am not sure what other riding they would have been able to win, unlike in future elections the Greens did not have much support in any one particular riding instead the pv was spread across much of BC for the Greens.

2 even if the Green Party finished as the official opposition the NDP likely had enough of a base that they would have remained a political threat, as well the Green Party platform round have been to focused on the environment for it to be a threat to win  a provincial election. This likely would result in the vote being split. Under this scenario you may have seen a unite the left movement occurs.
