I was a member of NDP before 2015 and I thought it was the end of oils strangle hold on our province and was angry the NDP didn't raise royalty rates, or business taxes more. Contrary to conservative opinion the NDP did not make massive raises to taxes but, no more than two percent if I remember correctly, and royalties options the oil industry could swallow.
Yes there are NDP has members long in the tough, stuck in their ways, and don't want their beliefs changed. The world has changed however and so to must the NDP. Communism although a great ideal has proven to be fallible to the manipulations of power seekers. Capitalism as Hayek saw it is also a great ideal but has always been a tool of the powerful. Somewhere in the middle imo is the sweet spot and people must be willing stop listening to the ideology and base their decision on the evidence, even if it means voting for another party.
Yes we may have got rid of the old boys network, but now it's been replaced the corporate network.
