Canada

The NDP has been stuck much longer than that through little to no fault of their own. The media spun Rae days into such a monster that very few of my elders will even consider voting NDP and they vote in much higher numbers. While I agree a new leader is a good idea, they would have to succeed at either erasing Bob Rae's memory or drastically increasing voter turnout to do any better than they are now. I say this as someone who has voted strictly NDP for the past 20 years and volunteered for them in the last two elections.

The saddest part is I have yet to encounter a Canadian who complains about Bob Rae that was actually affected by Rae Days. When you read into it, Rae Days were a fair attempt at keeping people employed during tough times. I am completely convinced that any other party would've done a much worse job with that situation.

For any Canadians on the fence with their vote, please consider the NDP. We all spend the majority of our lives working and the NDP is the only party primarily focused on improving our work lives. The rest of their policies are pretty decent and they're open to a good suggestion if you have ideas. While red and blue continue to simp for oligarchs, our orange friends simp for unions. Also look into how much of Trudeaus policy was improved by the NDP forcing changes to bills before they would vote for them. I am convinced they are currently our only option for real progress in this country and I hope you can be convinced too.
