In a word, no. Piggy is an outsider who acts, talks and thinks differently from the other boys. His big speech on the causeway leading to Castle Rock proved just how out of touch he was. He talked down to Jack's tribe, as if he were an elderly school teacher chastising a group of unruly schoolboys. The boys were indeed just unruly schoolboys but in their eyes they were a tribe of savages and anyone with any degree of understanding would have realised that they wouldn't appreciate being talked down to, especially by a fat kid who they had a low opinion of anyway. Piggy also told the boys that it would be better to be in Ralph's group rather than become a gang of painted savages, when it was blatantly obvious that they had already made the choice to become savages. Piggy's total lack of understanding of the other boys served only to annoy and irritate them rather than persuade them to be sensible, as was his obvious intent. Piggy essentially signed both his own and Ralph's death warrants by virtue of his insensitivity and lack of understanding.
