This party is going to take votes away from Liberals. It can only help the Cons.

It can only help the Cons.

To the detriment of the entire country.

Not that I'm especially a fan of the liberals, but Polierve's conservatives promise to be much worse than anything Trudeau and the liberals have done.

At least the current polling it would be hard for the liberals to lose harder.

They're set to lose around 100 seats, and the conservatives are set for the largest majority government in almost 40 years.

The NDP aren't forecast to gain any seats.

So maybe it is time for another party to take a swing.

ETA: I don't even think the NDP platform is bad, but their messaging is not getting through and frankly I think people are as tired of Singh as they are Trudeau.

If they don't willingly change they deserve a shakeup.

If only a federal political party with electoral victory within their reach had promised a meaningful reform to the first past the post system. Around 2015. That would have really been timely, and materially improved the Canadian political space.

Demonstrating the absolute uselessness of voting in Canada. Any vote that isn't in direct opposition the party you don't want is for them.
