Carney Liberals moving to the right opens up a potential opportunity for the NDP
With Carney's Liberals now competing with the Conservatives for right-of-centre voters in the next election, the left-of-centre voters are open to the NDP to grab.
You're viewing a single thread.
If they knew what they were doing, they'd make Leah Gazan the leader.
The fact that I don't know who anyone in the NDP is besides Jagmeet and Charlie says a lot about their campaign strategy.
I don’t really know anyone in the Conservative party besides the nutjobs in power, and I know Liberals because they also had power.
I know the NDP people I’ve voted for, but why would I know everyone else all that intimately? There’s a lot going on and they’re not exactly regularly in the news(which is a pretty good thing, for politicians).
I couldn't tell you the name of the NDP candidate I snubbed to vote defensively for the LPC (we flipped a CPC riding!). But I recognized the LPC candidate as they'd been around for several election cycles despite not winning all of them.
NDP needs to run candidates willing to lose multiple cycles before winning. Every year they're starting from scratch.
I'd just one single email to be about anything other than begging donations. But nope. Nothing. No meet n greet. No survey. No poll. Just beggars emails.
The NDP guy in my own riding is that guy you’re looking for, and I’m sure there are others. I remember this Singh guy who maintained leadership despite not winning first try, too, maybe you should look him up. And I’m positive that I’ve had plenty of other communications from them other than begging for donations and I don’t remember any emails or anything begging for donations, either.
I’m not saying you’re lying on purpose, but what you are saying isn’t exactly reality, either.
NDP have had a wide open net policy wise for decades. The moment Trudeau reneged on electoral reform they should have taken the shot. If dental coverage is all they could achieve than its definitely time for a leadership change.
100% agree, I've been writing letters about electoral reform because it is absolutely a thing that, if they pressure and push it through, could use having done it as a way to campaign to a population sick of empty promises. If you can get shit done without being the party in power (ahem, Tommy Douglas), what could you get done in power?
I'm not sure if you're in BC, but if anyone else reading this is, the provincial government is accepting input for their electoral reform committee, closing tomorrow (Jul 25): https://consultation-portal.leg.bc.ca/consultations/43. (I know its not federal but we gotta start somewhere)
Dang! Unfortunately I'm not but that's great info, I hope a lot of people are giving input!
Nationalized healthcare also didn't start federally ;)
Wow, her parents were CCF orgabizers.
