Rules:
All of Lemmy.ca's rules apply
Because every time the NDP get in power they try to make drastic changes that hurt them in the short term. It takes a party more than one term to figure out how hard you can pull the levers of government without causing major issues, and the NDP can't get over that hurdle provincially. Notley's AB NDP were the most pragmatic NDP so far, but Alberta's gonna Alberta.
They've never been in power Federally
Because they've left a bad taste provincially with a lot of people.
How? Exactly what have they done that's so bad?
As far as I can tell, in Ontario, their sins amounted to:
Meanwhile, the Harris conservatives can actually have people murdered and it's "Welp, they're just common sense!"
"Rae days" were demonized so hard that most of the people alive from that era hold a relatively permanent grudge against the NDP, despite the fact that no one lost their jobs which was the only alternative.
The logic of
Provincial NDP = Federal NDP
We gotta remember not everyone can see a difference, and it's because they make an active choice not to.
It is literally the same party federally and provincially.
Several provinces are trying to detach, namely Alberta for Alberta reasons.
