I am well aware that you see the NDP and Singh as right of center by your own standards and not progressive or far left enough to your liking. I am not the one who jumped here to try to call out someone just for pointing out a bad strategy by an inept political party because you couldn't stand that they would be attacked. For someone supposedly vocally critical of the NDP you sure as heck don't balance it out.

If they truly think that the Throne Speech doesn't support the working class, then yes they should vote against it. If they're just playing games, then they're being dummies. Do you think a party should vote in favour of it if they think it's bad for Canadians?
Regardless, Davies needs to be a bit more specific as to why he's voting against it, and I agree that he needs to phrase it better as being against the interests of Canadians as opposed to just being against the interests of NDP voters.
It's a largely inconsequential, symbolic gesture that non one is going to remember six months from now, which is why I think it's a silly move unless they're going to get serious in terms of explaining why they voted against it.

Well, you will be happy to know the vote didn't occur as no one stood up to want a recorded vote when the question was asked. So all this accomplished is the NDP looking dumb as nails...once again.

The NDP isn't a recognized party per house rules so they couldn't initiate the vote even if they wanted. CPC wasn't going to (zero reason to force a vote of non confidence here) and the Bloc either. Pure parliamentary shenanigans from a party that is out of touch and chooses to remain out of touch. But hey, they secured Singh's legacy so they have that going for them which is nice.
