I kind of agree, but there's a substantial chance the NDP will insist on misinterpreting the results as meaning they should pull even farther to the relative center, even though it's their base they are losing.
On the other hand, the NDP implosion in NB opened the window for a stronger Green party with no more splitting of left-leaning votes. That party now more effectively represents both environmental concerns and labor. So far, that's seeming like a pretty harmonious pairing of interests, with a largely shared base.
I'm good with the NDP either shaping up or getting out of the way.
Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain't how this shit works.
The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn't. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I'd rather take the swing.
Yeah, I think I've already talked myself out of worrying where the NDP goes next anyway. I hate how things went with the federal Greens but at this point they've still got as much shot at representing the left as the NDP.
I'm smelling a theme in leftist parties, where good leaders seem disproportionately difficult to replace.
That's why, if you want the NDP (or whatever party you are closest aligned with) to make better policy choices, you should become an active member of the party and get involved long before an election.
