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.

The problem with the AB party was that the NDP still existed and it became a vote-splitting exercise rather than a true centrist option.
The AB party was also filled with morons so that didn't help either.
I think the NDP rebrand might help still because it'll prevent another AB party-type to come out of the woodwork to siphon votes away.
