I haven’t watch this video yet, but here’s the thing. When all my local NDP reps (federal and provincial) started only talking in the central NDP talking points and even talking about the “leader”, Mulcair and then to an expanded level with Jagmeet, I checked out.
I will still likely vote NDP for the provincially our representative is pretty great, but federally the Liberals would have to nominate a brain dead 25yo white tech bro for me to vote NDP, and that’s WITH a strong NDP candidate.
The NDP are the same party on a Provincial and Federal level. It is silly to vote for them Provincially and not vote for them Federally because you don't like the leader of the party.
That’s a fundamental misunderstanding to how representative government works. I know my MLA, and I agree how they will represent me in the Legislature. I also align well with the provincial NDP leader.
I don’t align at all with Jagmeet at this time. He has not shown that he is willing to do what’s best for Canadians. He had an opportunity to work WITH the Trudeau government and force through NDP platform. Instead he attacks the Trudeau government and on social media media sounds a lot like PP
Yep. The NDP is polling so low that they won't be able to split the vote to any significant amount, and now the the Liberals are ditching Trudeau they have a decent chance of staying in power and keeping the Conservatives out. That's a complete failure of the NDP's goals. The only thing worse would be if they had a leader who was popular enough to actually form a government, since that would force the NDP to actually act on their rhetoric.
The NDP's purpose is to use left-wing rhetoric to promote right-wing interests, and to do that they need to stay in the middle range of popularity; enough to damage the Liberals but not enough to actually win an election. Someone who can't do that is a failure as a leader.
The understatement of the century. Jagmeet is a fine distillation of the leadership we had for the past 9 years. All looks no substance.
