Deserving to fail...
The federal NDP released its internal campaign review Friday, largely avoiding casting blame on senior party officials and instead citing issues that were beyond the control of New Democrats for its worst election loss.
"The overall verdict from campaign staff was that the NDP ran a technically solid campaign in a brutal environment," the report said. "Most agreed that even significantly better decisions would likely not have changed the overall outcome in terms of seats."
The report bases its findings on the views of former and current members and does not offer a path forward.
The report cites a basket of external forces that were working against New Democrats, including a political landscape that framed the election as a binary on who was best to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and journalists following the campaign who didn't stop asking New Democrats about the party's dismal polling prospects.
In April's election the NDP lost all but seven of its 24 seats. Even leader Jagmeet Singh could not hold on to his B.C. seat and resigned before all the results were counted on election night.
