Even if the NDP were to change their party name… further distance themselves from the federal NDP party… that wouldn’t change anything.
Nenshi released a good article recently which discussed how many conservative leaning voters feel that I can relate to.

Nenshi supporting NDP doesn’t move the needle for me.
I have talked to a lot of UCP voters. A lot of them are claiming to be voting for their local candidate instead of Danielle Smith. I’m also hearing that they are banking on Danielle Smith being pushed out by her party shortly after the election… or of course vote UCP to block the NDP.
Vote for one of the smaller parties? Just a waste of time. |
It’s unfortunate you can’t get to the point of deciding to vote for better democratic norms regardless of platform. However by not voting it’s still one less vote for the UCP then last time so you are still part of the solution.
Remind your friends that TBA now controls most of the riding associations so terming Smith does not in any way suggest you get a reasonable leader. Toews and Schultz didn’t win last time why would they win this time. TBA controlling ridings that elect conservative MLAs means it will be difficult to get rid of her because she will have strong control of the caucus.
