My opinion: That is a hell of a lot better (and respectable) than watching PP flee to one of the most conservative ridings in the country to secure a seat after being kicked out of the riding he'd represented for a couple of decades.

If the goal is to get into office and speak for the people and hold the government accountable, then as principled as that may be, that's a pretty silly way to approach politics. If the NDP wants to accomplish anything, then they actually have to accomplish something instead of showing off values that while may be admirable, aren't going to get them what they want.
