sure but look at that upside. 41% positive.
Playing it safe with a less polarizing name might limit the downside, but it significantly limits the potential upside for a party that needs to grow the tent if they want to win government in the next election cycle. And it's the "excited" boosters that can make the biggest difference. 17% excited compared to just 3-4%? That's a landslide win for a Nenshi-led NDP compared to low voter turnout for anyone else.
