The NDP got 6 per cent of the vote. In the great majority of races, they failed to reach the 10 per cent threshold to qualify for campaign expense rebates from Elections Canada, leaving their finances in tatters.
They lost more seats to the Conservatives than to the Liberals, finishing third in traditional union strongholds like Windsor West.

Appealing to disaffected graduate students and Toronto media freelancers isn’t the path back to electoral relevance. If the NDP want to avoid becoming the Green Party, they need to find a way to reconnect with the working class. Turning the party into a platform for Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein to preach their brand of urban-hipster activism would be the final nail in the coffin for the party.
