I NEVER Thought I Would Have To Look For Reasons To Remain In the Federal NDP ....
I've voted New Democrat in all Federal elections since 1972 with membership since 1981. With the woeful inexperience and bad judgement of the current Leader, I don't feel comfortable in the Federal Party anymore. Under his short leadership, major Party issues have been sidelined by 'Khalistan' while on the Convention floor the hot divisive issue was the Party's stand on 'Palestine'. I've knocked on thousands of doors for the Party over the years and I can assure you these are NOT vote getting issues for us! Ongoing affiliation for me is very shaky. I am actively looking for reasons to stay.
As well, Jagmeet Singh's ongoing mistreatment of my MP Erin Weir has gone on for 44 days without resolution. Jagmeet's inexperience and international outward focus is hurting the Party.
What a mess :(
