    Singh has to go if the NDP ever wants to have even a shred of hope of being competitive in the polls again.

    I don’t even think he’s a bad politician per se, but it’s obvious he is not resonating with Canadians and hasn’t for years.

      Yep. And sadly, there’s also the fact that even amongst progressives, there’s still a number of Canadians who won’t yet accept a PM who wears a turban.

        That is the unfortunate reality of it.

        I have no problems with the guy. He strong armed the liberals in to getting us Pharma and Dental care, which is the biggest thing any political party has done for us in fucking decades.

        Yet I keep seeing stuff saying the NDP is losing support. Why? Well, it’s not because they aren’t doing enough.

          Doesn’t help that they haven’t stood with labour groups enough that the Conservative party has had chances the past couple years to become “the labour party” with Unifor getting behind them recently. It was already sort of going that way with people in the trades generally leaning right on a lot of newer issues that are becoming the focus of the NDP.
