It's almost like the NDP say what they want to do and then do it.
Remind me why we split the vote between them and the Liberals again?
This is BCs provincial NDP, which may or may not be ideologically in sync with the federal NDP. Its a difficult thing to determine as they campaign on different issues typically, but as BCs liberal party was its acting conservative party i tend to look at our parties as shifted one to the right. It tends to follow a lot closer to the federal voting patterns that way.
Edit: that being said i did vote for them
Well, in Ontario it's because "Rae Days" or something like that.
None of the candidates are strong either.
Most people my age don't even know what the fuck Rae Days were. We didn't live through it, but we're living through a housing and affordability crisis and the only people talking about doing anything about it are the NDP.
Unfortunately we don't go out and vote, which is why the lowest voter turnout in history enabled the Ford victory.
Always love that argument
NDP did one thing I didn't like in the 90s and now I'll never vote for them
Conservatives do shitty things over and over but I'll give them a chance .... again
Liberals do shitty things over and over but I'll give them a chance .... again
It wasn’t even a bad thing
They just think the Ontario NDP caused a global recession
Ask someone would you rather have less hours in the short term or no job in the long term and they will side with Bobby
Ask someone if the government should spend less and protect jobs or fire people and spend a bunch of money to fill their positions and they will side with Bobby
Maybe they've noticed over time what actually happens when the conservatives, liberals or ndp are in charge during bad worldwide times. You definitely want a Harper not a Trudeau for conditions of the last ten years. yknow, a fucking economist.
Harper isn’t a good example, he destroyed our economy
Our deficit and military still haven’t recovered from him
Lol. Fuck I'll just make shit up too why not.
The only year he didn’t have a deficit was his last and he’s the only PM to go under 1% GDP military spending

But feel free to keep making things up

NDP are just as crooked as the Conservative and Liberal parties, they have just never had the a chance to stretch their legs.
