Uh, because New is a reference to the New Party, which was the name used by the party in the interrum after the decision to move away from the CCF label. More or less the same reason that the Conservatives adopted the name Progressive Conservative after merging with the Progressive Party, and continued with that name long after the Progressives were completely forgotten.
