    The NDP stands zero chance of winning. The best they can do is official opposition, and even that is asking for a miracle. Frankly speaking, they should be asking themselves what’s the best realistic position the party can manage this election, and that’s to whittle away votes from the Cons.

    As long as the Conservatives have a strong voter base, the only thing the NDP can do is canabolize liberal votes, which is a lose-lose proposition when the liberals don’t even have a majority. Even in the best case of this scenario, they’re just splitting the votes and handing the Conservatives the win.

    Instead of trying to nab a small number of easy votes, go they need to go for the harder but far bigger votes. Convince Canadians that voting for the Cons goes directly against their own interests.

      Sounds like we agree. The NDP should go hard against the conservatives, and can of course talk up their own game. I think they should tread very carefully though attacking the Libs as they could do just enough damage to hand the election to the conservatives.
