I agree that the manifesto was a disaster but it did create rifts in the NDP that may not be bridgeable. Some people I know have torn up their NDP membership over the turfing of Mulcair and the manifesto. In that light, how do you see the NDP recovering under its present name and with no definable energy philosophy? Does it not need to redefine itself?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />GregGreg Feltonhttp://gregfelton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-76318167089222995882016-06-12T23:54:55.984-07:002016-06-12T23:54:55.984-07:00Thanks for your comment Greg and I have read your ...Thanks for your comment Greg and I have read your analysis.

Though it has some good points, it was a tactical blunder of the first magnitude to bring it up at a leadership convention. However, the manifesto did have the salutary effect of exposing deep structural problems within the NDP. <br /><br />I would appreciate your comments on this analysis of the electoral crash and burn.<br /><br /><i>Will failure teach the NDP anything?</i><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://www.gregfelton.com/canpol/2016_06_11.htm</a><br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />Greg Felton<br />gregfelton@shaw.ca<br /><br /><br />Greg Feltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-58602969834518126992016-06-11T00:19:52.097-07:002016-06-11T00:19:52.097-07:00This country also needs a press that is unbiased. ...This country also needs a press that is unbiased. The MSM was totally against the NDP.
