For those still on the fence:
This is not a conventional NDP party, it is an offshoot of the NDP that is far more centrist in its principles, and, more importantly, in the eyes of the candidates who will take over the party as the next leader. This party should not be aligned with the federal NDP party except in name and membership structure, which they need to change quickly.
In effect, this is a centrist party that is in need of a rebranding, but also a party where I think people are waking up to the fact that it is the strongest front against whatever the conservative movement in Alberta has become, a shell of its formal dignified self.
