The CBC estimates that NDP will lose its official opposition status and likely get only 70-80 seats… however, if the months long trend of NDP decline continues, NDP would be projected to win only 50-60 seats.0 [/ i3 e1 b0 V+ h8 [/ T& w
It’s very unusual, normally NDP get elected before getting decimated. Some possible factors could include the NDP win in Alberta, where NDP has made a bad situation worse, much worse. Or perhaps because the AB NDP refuses to release their budget before the federal election, indicating that it will be a big embarrassment. Or maybe just simple pragmatic reasons, people realize that the NDP platform betrays its historical supporters and that the planks hold no weight.
