I mean...whatever excuse they can at this point to prolong the inevitable. It completely makes sense for the NDP to stick around, the same way it makes perfect sense to Trudeau on why he is staying onboard. Clinging to power that you will inevitably lose once the population gets their say in a democratic process is a very tough pill to swallow. In the end its very self serving and a bad look to the outside and irreparably hurting their outlook long-term to those not devoutly supporting the party. I fully understand why the NDP is sticking as long as it can and every reason not to call an election early for short term reasons.
If they want to squeeze out as much as they can before falling deep into irrelevance regardless of how damaging it is to their party good for them...I guess? |
Exactly hence I don’t understand what the NDP is doing is not a real position.
Though I do disagree the position is self serving. The most desired option for the constituency that Singh represents is a minority government without Trudeau as liberal leader. He is currently acting in the manner which is most likely to make that happen (see Bizaros post above)
So what we have here is a group of people feigning ignorance because a person they have no respect for and have continuously held in contempt isn’t helping them accomplish their political goals.
Singhs actions are logical, quite clear, and in the best interest of the constituents that elected him. They also have a low likelihood of success.
