There are enough voters who think that way (and no credible challenge for the voters in their base it might annoy) that changing the name is 100% the right move.
Would it not take 0.0001 seconds for the UCP to just says 'whatever they call it party' is the NDP in everything but name only? It would only work on the most uninformed voters going.
