well, we know the party leadership wants singh to win, so if there's any shenanigans happening behind the scene, he's the most likely beneficiary.

i have an ideological objection to joining a political party; i'm an anarchist. i never have, and i'm going to need to undergo a kind of conversion process before i ever will. but, it seems like it's a kind of weird and particularly non-transparent process behind this.

they're taking something like two weeks to count the vote by mail. i'd be surprised if there's anything much like a paper trail.

so, we might have to get used to jagmeet singh, after all.

i don't expect him to come up with a set of policy options that i can support - i expect him to continue the party's swing to the right, which is why the party suits want him; it's the point of the whole exercise - but i'll keep an open mind.

we may very well be walking into another election where the ndp are positioned to the right of the liberals.
