I’m not going to pretend I’m an NDP supporter, but I genuinely believe Singh’s best move for his future is to be the one to pull the plug, rather than go down with it. With an astute campaign, he has a chance to position himself as a better option for the Left and even Centrists. Even if he loses the influence he’s had over the last couple of years, I think it’s already gone anyways, as I don’t see this government being able to function moving forward.
That’s why I’m not going to outright say he’s holding on just for his pension, but I can definitely see it being a factor. Otherwise, I don’t see how he benefits by dragging this out and looking like the guy who’s delaying the inevitable, especially if the government becomes completely dysfunctional.

Let’s be real though, Singh hasn’t run particularly astute campaigns thus far, even if he’s made the best of his time actually in office. They usually have a great platform and Singh personally does well in a debate, but whether it’s a funding issue or whatever, the effectiveness of their campaign just suffers.
People have been accusing him of being the guy propping up/dragging out this government for almost the entirety of their agreement. Be totally honest, do you
actually think he could change that perception in 4-5 weeks if the election was called tomorrow? Would you vote for the NDP if they did?
