It's interesting Mindbomber...I hope in the days, hours or minutes ahead, that every party except for NDP and Liberals pull their heads out of their asses and go and get their names out there.
I'm going to be blunt in my disclosures here...I really don't like the NDP. I know! Shocker.
But I fully respect the decision of anyone to vote for whatever candidate you think is best.
BUT:
I fear that a lot of the surge in NDP support is related to "hate the liberals...lets go with these guys". They are cut from the same cloth. I am a liberal at heart. Have been since I was 10. I like a business favored platform with a softer side. I find the NDP to mushy, and the conservatives too icy. Even I have to say that the liberals have to go.
But I feel that a lot of people are going to regret their decision in about 2014, as they weren't true NDP'ers to begin with. The liberals will be gone, so mission accomplished and then we have "liberal-lite". Half the calories but twice the fat.
This is a great election to have a good mix of candidates. Hell, I'll even celebrate a green win. At this point...I'd even celebrate a commie(which, learned today that the NDP candidate in my area used to be). I'll celebrate anyone that's new.
I'm really disappointed that everyone took the 'NDPnough' bumper stickers off their cars(or most likely bought new ones once the economy bounced back when the libs won)
A list of NDP highlights:
Casinogate(something Mr.Dix should be able to recall with great pride)
How are those new ferries working out? Must be encouraging to see the NDP legacy in operation when he visits...oh, right...they didn't work
Speed cameras(everyone forgets those)
Oh, and the economy crapped out.
Why do people think they are suddenly going to get it right this time? And why do people think the liberals even deserve to be official opposition?
I say wipe them all out, and start fresh.
