Good. This whole “I’m running for Prime Minister” thing is as ridiculous as it is inaccurate. Singh, May, Carney, and Poillievre can’t “run for PM”, and acting like our political system mirrors that of the US perpetuates public ignorance about the parliamentary system.
As much as I agree that one doesn’t “run for Prime Minister,” and I wish everyone would stop using that phrasing…the party sure as shit should be running to form government.
Singh has to go if the NDP ever wants to have even a shred of hope of being competitive in the polls again.
I don’t even think he’s a bad politician per se, but it’s obvious he is not resonating with Canadians and hasn’t for years.
Yep. And sadly, there’s also the fact that even amongst progressives, there’s still a number of Canadians who won’t yet accept a PM who wears a turban.
That is the unfortunate reality of it.
I have no problems with the guy. He strong armed the liberals in to getting us Pharma and Dental care, which is the biggest thing any political party has done for us in fucking decades.
Yet I keep seeing stuff saying the NDP is losing support. Why? Well, it’s not because they aren’t doing enough.
