    What have we lost? The NDP has never governed. We’ve lost nothing.

      We lost a mid-to-far left option … you know, the party, led by a Baptist minister, that created universal healthcare.

        Are you the one downvoting me just because we disagree? Real mature.

        An unelectable “option” is pointless. I would much rather see someone like Layton nudge the party slightly to the center in order to actually win an election and show people what an NDP government could do. That would do far more to benefit the left than always being a fringe party and rejecting the views of 90% of the electorate.

          Whining about it is an order of magnitude more pathetic though
