( P5 M# u! u5 ^& {# LThe 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.
. D% G, @. e+ N' J6 A4 w, [- qIt’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.* _! A- u7 H/ R" D% k
The election will tell, but Tom is dead wrong if he thinks the NDP is still in the race. |
