On the #CBC At-Issue Panel last night, #ChantalHébert and #AlthiaRaj are quite negative about the prospects for the #NDP. @acoyne dissents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR11l5Q1sU&t=877s

I have the moment cued up; worth a watch.

Thanks for posting it. I watched it last night and was going to do the same.

After Layton, the NDP in Quebec just collapsed. I'm not sure what it would take to rebuild there.

Basically that party doesn't exist at the federal level east of Ontario.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver Oh, I don't know. Looking at Atlantic Canada, the NDP seems to be steadily growing provincially; that could be a prelude to federal growth.

I would be a mistake for me to give advice to the #NDP though: I liked Tom Mulcair, but that's not direction the party wants to go in.

@mpjgregoire

The provincial party ebbs and flows, but seems to have a very low hard ceiling in NB.
There are a few provincial seats in NS that are pretty reliable though.

The links with the federal party are particularly weak though.
