An example of a fantastic NDP government is Roy Romanow, the first balanced budget in Canada, was held up as the model for the Chretien liberals and Ralph borrowed his policies. He raised taxes and cut spending. He came in after a disastrous PC government so bad that the party no longer exists.
If you are going to base your vote on bogeymen know that there have also been very pragmatic NDP governments. And remember that like all political parties the NDP will have to get reflected so they won't stray too far from the center.
