Very interesting story / poll from Toronto Star, that Singh's and NDP's numbers fluctuating around 18-19% are not so much because they are staying stagnant, but they are gaining Liberal voters while losing NDP voters to the CPC and Liberals.

That seems to be quite a different picture than normally occurs. While the ABC mentality is in fact still occurring, if the NDP is losing a good part of their base to the CPC of all parties, it clearly means that their policies or lack of policies is alienating what should traditionally be part of their core.

Champagne socialism can only go so far before it falls flat, so too does Twitter politics when Singh is supposed to be part of a coalition and could demand meaningful changes from the government today if Liberals are not willing to do so.

Will the NDP take this as a wake up call, and provide viable solutions to Canada's issues in 2023 and make themselves a viable alternative voting option to voters who feel disenfranchised? Their NDP convention is coming up soon.
