Rise and Fall of the NDP - 2015 - ????

Same as Bernier and the PPC.

I disagree. Bernier and the PPC are one and the same. As much as modern political leaders try to make their parties extensions of themselves, the NDP, like the Tories, Liberals and BQ, is bigger than any one leader.

If Bernier is going to flame out, the PPC will be done too.

 

[Colin Parkinson]

I have to wonder if the Right would be better off if the PPC morphed into a right wing version of the NDP. A place for those "outcasts" to feel at home. Meanwhile allowing the Conservatives to move to a more centre right position.

That's not the purpose of the PPC though, in many minds.
Bernier's job is to come out of his cave in Florida, when an election is called, and create division in the Conservative vote.
Election over, he returns to Florida until the next time.

Retired Generals tend to do the same thing

Defeated MP Matthew Green on the other hand has a different perspective on things

‘I’m not going anywhere:’ Defeated MP Matthew Green is gearing up for a NDP rebuild — and another election race

Green and well-known NDP politician Monique Taylor both lost in the federal election wipe out for the New Democratic Party.

Angus is an insufferable Punk Rocker who didn't grow up. Best ignored.

Yup. I want to highlight what a loser he is. I really want the the NDP to re-grow and become a real third option again. I once voted NDP (mostly at provincial level, I was a Howard Hampton fan).

I voted NDP in the past too.

On the NDP leadership race

New Democrats say they want leadership race rules to ensure multiple serious candidates, shorter contest

Party’s national director says meeting ‘in the near future’ to lay out plans for race

It's worth remembering that a leadership raced does not imply that any of the candidates have any actual leadership ability.

Bingo!! This

 

[Oldgateboatdriver]

Its political leadership we are talking about here: the leader goes where his/her followers tell him/her to ... reluctantly when they get to the point where there are no more delaying options left.

Conservatives must do everything in their power to ensure the NDP has a good, healthy rebound.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Provincial NDP should hive themselves away from the National. Different provinces have different problems. They don’t need the national NDP dictating their priorities.

 

[PuckChaser]

Renamed the thread to open it up to all things NDP as Jagmeet Singh is no longer in the picture.

The whole purpose and strategy of the NDP is Marxism and government capture from unions, local ABC’s, universities, libraries, school board, local councils, provincial agencies, boards and tribunals, regional governments, provincial legislatures and federal parliament, judiciary and quasi judiciary appointments (courts, human rights boards, immigration boards, parole, health care policy boards etc), and UN and other international commissions (like the Seaway, Great Lakes, Colombia Water etc). As a single unitary party, even if they hold few elected seats they still control the basic functions of government regardless of who is elected into power. Despite that level of success, penetration and capture, all of the results and the catastrophic state that Canada currently finds itself in reflects an ideology that pretty much sucks.
