markierung Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 the NDP are hypocrits when the liberals were in power, they were holding a lot of strength because with the NDP, a majority was formed. However they called for a new election so that they could get more seats in politics. Now they have to work with a government who's views are even further away from them than the liberals. All they want are more seats, not change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
option+ Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Perhaps a better question would be why he joined the NDP to begin with, considering his views are more centrist than leftist. He was a Liberal until the mid 70s... Unfortunately, in our system of government, a political party's ability to exact change is directly proportional to the amount of seats they have. More seats = more power = a better chance to influence policy. The NDP are no more or less hypocritical than any other Canadian political party, every single other party would have done the same thing.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Every party is vying for position. Bob Rae doesn't like the Clean Air Act because it'll hurt industry. To the C's it's just smoke and mirrors & the Greens are opposite the Liberals. Edited October 24, 2006 by ATHLÉTIQUE.CANADIEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm interested in what that now ex tory mp will do. If he goes to the greens that puts the greens in parliament and makes them able have Ms. May debate the other federal leaders because the only reason why they said the Greens weren't allowed in was because they had no seats in parliament. But I bet the other parties will come up with some other excuse to not make them get into debates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
