+ y4 g$ _+ ?1 i E/ YThe CBC estimates that NDP will lose its official opposition status and likely get only 70-80 seats… however, if the months long trend of NDP decline continues, NDP would be projected to win only 50-60 seats.
' S( P5 l. r- [1 e. ~It’s very unusual, normally NDP get elected before getting decimated. Some possible factors could include the NDP win in Alberta, where NDP has made a bad situation worse, much worse. Or perhaps because the AB NDP refuses to release their budget before the federal election, indicating that it will be a big embarrassment. Or maybe just simple pragmatic reasons, people realize that the NDP platform betrays its historical supporters and that the planks hold no weight.. [3 W7 w, B7 Y- b& i5 ]
The election will tell, but Tom is dead wrong if he thinks the NDP is still in the race. |
