    I think there is interest and space for the NDP right now, but with all the chaos going on they are laying low. Until they pick a leader who sets the agenda, the NDP in government right now is a loose group of 5 MPs: McPherson, Johns, Kwan, Gazan and Davies.

      Agreed. What’s happening in the NDP now is prep for a few years from now. It’s also why I find focus and critique of the electability of the new leader today is misguided.
