If you're a party looking to present yourself as the professional/sane choice to the moderates of our province...well, then consider demonstrating those qualities.

Exactly. As I posted earlier, the relentless barrage of attacks ads nudged my wife from firmly in the NDP camp to considering not voting.
For the voters who don’t follow politics closely (which is most of them), what they learned during the election campaign is that the NDP really, really, REALLY hate Danielle Smith. As for what positive policy proposals they were offering that appealed to moderates…. I’m sure you could find them if you poked around the NDP website for a while.
Analysts and pollsters feel the same - the negativity hurt the NDP campaign.
