why are the ndp doing so poorly?

it is true that jagmeet singh is incredibly unpopular, and that his religion has a lot to do with it.

but, there have been longterm concerns about the direction the ndp is heading in for a long time. mulcair's insistence on balanced budgets, combined with notley's championing of the tar sands, draw their commitment to "progressive" values into deep question.

singh's unpopularity may be a catalyst, it is true. but, they've been dishonest for years. they've campaigned on the left, and governed on the right. they've brought in awful policies, when allowed to. they've attacked their own base.

and, now the greens are being seen by many people as the more "progressive" option.

i predicted this, but i predicted it because it was obvious - the ndp's days have been numbered for a long time now, because they've abandoned their roots, their core principles.

we don't need two liberal parties in this country.

the liberals are supposed to do better than this
