No government is going to magically snap their fingers and fix things. I have no loyalty to any political party, and I get that it's human nature to want things fixed now, but people need to really try and have an open mind about changes. I'm willing to bet if the NDP were voted out tomorrow and things stayed the exact same or got worse, the people who are complaining now would say "well at least it's better than if the NDP were in charge" or "yeah it's taking some
time but it would be going worse if the NDP were running things" The reason politics become a gong show is because most people pick parties to support like they pick sports teams to cheer for, they make a choice and stick to it no matter how many times the oilers finish last.

I haven't heard a single person say that any party could fix this though. What I have heard a lot is that other parties wouldn't do more damage to an already troubled economy. Its not the same thing, and frankly difficult to disagree with.
