I really think people are kidding themselves when they say the name is the biggest or only reason why the NDP lost the last 2 elections rather than the fact that there are a lot of voters in this province who despite what they might say publicly simply won’t vote for anyone other than the Conservative party of the day.

This conundrum cycles in my mind. If a subset of voters are lacking the intellect or fortitude to not vote against their own best interests out of some lazy political tradition, maybe something as blatantly silly like re-branding could pull them away from the Conservatives. It's just so stupid it could work!
However, if they are already this deprived of political awareness, what logical difference is a new leader and colour scheme going to make against "True Blue!"?
It's a real pickle.
