After this is all done, we need to rebuild the left in this country. We need the NDP to be putting forth bold policy proposals to neutralize the far right populist appeal of the fucking conservative ghouls.

We also need a better NDP leader. I like Jagmeet but he has not succeeded at this.

Charlie Angus should have stayed and taken over NDP leadership.

He was a candidate to head the party at one time, but they decided on Singh instead. Now he's too tired to try again. But I do wonder about the parallel universe where things turned out the other way around.

Charlie is Canada's version of Bernie Sanders, ie: he'd never be allowed to lead the party.

Such is the way of politiks these days.

He's in third place in his riding and it's looking like he'll lose his seat.

Jusg saying, same goes for PP in his riding in Ontario. He can suck a lemon.

Maxime Bernier lost his riding as well. That's 3 federal party leaders who lost their seats.

It's gotta be a record.

And to engage peoples hard, negative feelings. The conservatives keep capturing the NDP's natural base because they refuse to actually reflect their feelings and perceptions back to them. This whole "let's get along, and cancel your bank fees" thing doesn't resonate.

We need European style left populism, like Mélenchon in France, or Corbyn in the UK. The mainstream media are going to call us hippie socialists no matter how "costed" and "responsible" our platform is. We need to be going for the jugular.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Very much so.

Well, memberships are cheap and it's easy to get involved at the riding level where you can vote for the local leadership at the AGM, help make policy at conventions, vote for the leader,... Membership has its privileges.

That and we need electoral reform. The NDP bled hard into liberal support as people wanted to avoid electing conservatives. FPTP will never lead to an NDP government.

I’m more centrist but I also want a strong left.

I want good working class Canadians to rally back to a strong NDP and unions and see their influence grow, and I want that to start pushing our policies back towards effective social policy.

It does need to be a balance, but I don’t see how for example small businesses not having to provide health insurance to compete is bad for businesses. It’s a burden off of them and good for employees.

Private healthcare mostly helps the big entrenched companies, and that’s bad for an economy.
