You can't possibly be naïve enough to think they're some great panacea. They were fiscally a train wreck. Did things work out and we got the budget to balance eventually? Sure. Because of energy royalties and not because of anything incredible they would've done.
Governments do some good things and some stupid things. They give money to pet projects, fund their special interests and "we" could do without a lot of that. Would the NDP be better than what we have today? Probably. But let's not pretend they were some incredibly competent fiscal managers. We basically got bailed out of their monstrous spending purely because energy came back.
