The remaining New Democratic Members
The remaining New Democratic Members
could spearhead electoral reform in Canada. That might be the party's saving grace.
Hey, you’re back! I missed you!
I'm pivoting in other ways that either advance PR or civics! The Fair Vote community is in a good place with the work we've done so far!
As long as we dont have a spiteful party who simply aim to derail everything
And under our current winner-take-all system, we'll have that soon unless we do something about it.
Thank goodness Mark Carney was given a minority.
The NDP really doesn't have a leg to stand on, let alone to throw their weight around. If they topple the government and force another election anytime soon, the electorate will absolutely stomp on them.
When faced with an existential threat, humans do not do the foundational things that prevent those threats from returning. They tackle the facade. Trying to be threatening to stability while everyone feels so deeply threatened and unstable is more likely to destroy the party than to accomplish anything, no matter how good an idea they may want to push.
Plus, the BQ has already thrown their support behind Carney.
The NDP needs to get their house in order, and actually build support by being active members of the community again, and not just the milquetoast social democrat political party with no media outlet backing them.
