Wow someone knows nothing about Political parties in Canada. The socialist caucus Might and I am over estimating here make up 5% of the NDP membership. There resolution fail every convention, and they never make it to the floor. Only and idiot would link to their website and pretend they are some major force in the NDP.

As for the Winnipeg Declaration that was a straight endorsement of Capitalist/Mixed market nature of this country. You go read and come back ok because you are one of the most uneducated voters out there.

The NDP should indeed have its constitution on its website. No doubt about it.

Thanks for the National Post and biased CBC to report on it.

[CANADIEN]

Interesting that legislation publicly put forward by the NDP is a form of hidden agenda.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Word for word.

Wrong, they told me 20% and are running candidates in this election. Someone knows nothing about anything but can only make personal insults, thereby indicating that they are uninformed.

So where is the constitution - opaque or transparent - so far - opaque

Did they tell you scribblet? I'll tell you I go to convention there is a reason why none of their resolutions make it to the floor and why we got rid of the socialist part of the Constitution 2 years after the party was founded.

Again I am telling you right now they might and I mean might make up 5% of the membership.

You ever hear of the Waffle? It was when we started kicking socialist out of the party. The whole reason we have memberships at all was because Ontario said they needed them in 50s to get rid of the communists. Welcome to party history.

That is what they told me, I phoned specifically to ask.

So if you got rid of it, please post the constitution so we can see, according to the other links they didn't repudiate previous manifestos. What's the secret ?

Why do you need to be so ignorant to people when they ask a question or say something you don't agree with? A good point has been raised and instead of reasonably responding to it you bash them and say they are uneducated.

Go ahead bash me now!

[lukin]

Let's take a look at Saskatchewan.

Many years of NDP government = Have Not Province

A couple years of Brad Wall's Conservative government = HAVE Province

The NDP is bad for those that want to be prosperous. They NDP brings everyone down.

It's no coincidence folks.

When someone links to a small part of the NDP membership, a part which has no influence and tries to pretend that they what the NDP stands for they are being dishonest. I don't take kindly to lies.

Scary socialists with a hidden agenda

[BubberMiley]

Wrong. It became a Have province uner the NDP before Wall took over.

Sorry.

But, again, you don't know of what you speak.

Go read the Regina manifesto which is a socialist document talking about controlled planned economy then read the Winnipeg declaration where we moved to supporting Canada as it stand as a mixed market economy. This happened very early in the parties history. In fact the Winnipeg declaration was passed just two years after the CCF was founded.

Yah you phoned an organization which you and I both don't trust with numbers to ask about numbers eh? Conservatives are the best when being hypocrites.

You are dead wrong. Saskatchewan was a dump before Wall came in and cleaned up Calvert's mess. That is the simple truth about Saskatchewan and everyone knows it.

How is someone who isn't a member suppose to know what kind of a role the socialist caucus plays when they see they have a website and are then told they make up 20%?

[Smallc]

That's not at all true. I think the determination of have status happened very soon after Brad Wall was elected. That means it had nothing to do with him.

You mean the same way you and the other psycho-partisan members on this board go after those "bible-thumping, neo-con, anti-abortionist, anti-human rights, right-wing conservatives"???? You mean that way? Are you referring to THOSE kinds of lies?

Punked, I had quite a bit of respect for someone who came on this board and supported the never-to-be-in-power socialist party...NDP...and did it with fervor. Since this little rise in popularity (for which I will forever be thankful - F T Liberals!), you've turned into a incoherent, rabid dipper. Threatening to "report" slander to "Der Headquarters" over a childish thread. Calling the kettle black when it comes to party attacks. Generally just degrading your discourse here to a very low level of psychobabble riddled with personal insults.

It's all pretty disappointing from you.

Who did you call? The Socialist Caucus themselves or some spokesperson for the NDP generally?

Please don't post things about Saskatchewan, it makes you look ignorant. Let me reword your post slightly

Let's take a look at the Federal government.

Many years of Liberal government = surpluses

A couple years of Harper's Conservative government = deficits

Both my post and yours are equally true.

[punked]

Anyone who thinks the socialist caucus is a big part of the party really hasn't done their homework. They ran a candidate against Jack when we moved to one member one vote guess how much of the vote they got?

1.1%

Yah there is a part of the party with real influence. This is smear and scare now.

They made a phone call to someone within the NDP and were told 20%, how is that not doing their homework? It would seem to be a much more reliable source then you.

Pot = black quit with the attacks and stick to intelligent discussion, I didn't say I didn't trust them, I wanted info. that's what I got. They are part of your party, they seem to think they represent something, they call themselves NDP... so quit with the personal attacks.
