i think the smart thing to do is to put nikki ashton in and let her rebuild before she hands it over to somebody else. that means realizing that the party needs to go through another election before it can even understand what it is; it means realizing that the disaster of 2015 was too deep, too catastrophic, to build around.

the next competitive leader of the ndp has not been elected yet.
