Good grief, Charlie Brown!

I think the amible loser is the NDP, no offence. They try so hard to win, but they never get there. Like Charlie Brown, they played the federal politics game for 41 years and never improved. No offence to anyone.

Though I tend to agree (in that the NDP are losers), you can't really have it both ways and ask NDPers to not take offence when you call their party "amible losers".

[Big Blue Machine]

Right, I apoligize for these remarks, but I believe what I say is true.

[caesar]

amiable The NDP do win in Provincial elections. They do not need to the party in control to have an effect on our country. If they get a leader with a little more charism; who knows what they can do. They have many great ideas; unfortunately, at this time I don't think we can afford all the programs they would like to bring in.

I will be relieved when they regain the majority here in BC. Gordon Campbell is a disaster for all but his much wealthier friends.

[Big Blue Machine]

But the federal NDP think they can win, which is sad. Jack Layton is insanely annoyingly optimstic.

[caesar]

So did Harper; so what. That is what they are supposed to do. Show faith. The NDP will have lots of influence this time round. More than I will say for harper. He will be his usual pain in the butt. I have no problem offending Conservatives of this nature.

maybe they need a leader from quebec hehe...

it worked well for the liberal...

[Big Blue Machine]

The NDP will never get a leader from quebec.

[chicklet78]

The NDP won approximately 17% of the popular vote this past election....I would expect losers to have a lot less support than that.

[Big Blue Machine]

The base NDP vote is like 15%. They have never got more than 30% (correct if I'm wrong) in a federal election.

The NDP will never get a leader from quebec.

Wrong Blue; look where Jack Layton came from. hehe

do a little research

... Jack Layton succeeded Alexa McDonough as NDP Leader in January 2003 at a convention

in ... Jack was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1950 and grew up in the small town ...

[Big Blue Machine]

Ok, but they won't make gains at all in Quebec.

[Neal.F.]

It is astonishing that the NDP doesn't mop up in Quebec. A party based on socialist trade unions, and radical social liberalism should win every time.... They have even affirmed Quebc's "Right to self-determination" yet people still don't flock to them, logically, Parti Quebecois members who would dabble in federal politics should be embracing them.

It would even make more sense on startegic grounds too... Elect a bunch of wet noodles who are on the hook as having supported Quebec's right to "self determination, and you have a referendum cakewalk. The Federal government (If NDP) would not have a leg to stand on.

[Big Blue Machine]

The problem is the Bloc is just as socialistic as the NDP.

That kind of insulting unbased nonsense shows your own ineptitude. Hopefully you are an immature child.

What, me?
