It’s very unusual, normally NDP get elected before getting decimated. Some possible factors could include the NDP win in Alberta, where NDP has made a bad situation worse, much worse. Or perhaps because the AB NDP refuses to release their budget before the federal election, indicating that it will be a big embarrassment. Or maybe just simple pragmatic reasons, people realize that the NDP platform betrays its historical supporters and that the planks hold no weight.9 f' g1 ?" x* f( I4 Q+ D$ u
The election will tell, but Tom is dead wrong if he thinks the NDP is still in the race. |
