NDP is more socialist than the Conservatives - but they are not some ultra socialist fringe part.

I don't think people are naive enough to blame the current state of affairs entirely on the NDP. The price of oil is outside of their control.
My view is that the NDP has not done an acceptable job of supporting our province's main economic engine during a historically bad period, choosing instead to inject increased taxes and royalty uncertainty into the economy, which is compounding an already grim macroeconomic picture.
