I think it's the racism. Which is really unfortunate.
Can you provide me some reasons to like him?
Seems all I hear about is a weak party, pandering to the Liberals and not much else leading to lasting change.
EDIT: To anyone downvoting... I'm not being malicious. I'm trying to learn and I think it's best to learn from people who already have the knowledge for me to draw from. I'm not up to date on current NDP platforms as they seem fairly under represented in our political reporting.
Yeah "weak party" because weak, inferior, racist assholes can't see past their own shriveled, pasty white micropeens. But somehow when Layton was running the show it was up and coming. No knock on the guy, he was fantastic too, but being a white dude is categorically all it takes in this hemisphere. QED; the US election.
Let's handily gloss over the fact that we got a federal dental plan because of this "weak party" that "panders". IMO they hold the liberals feet to the fucking fire and definitely earned my vote again.
Sorry, not everyone who considers the party or their leader to be weak is a racist asshole. Singh has never been a strong leader. Trustworthy, definitely; and most likely a good guy. Policy-wise I agree with him and the NDP more than any other party (actually, the Greens under May but that ship has sunk), and he has been quite effective at forcing some good out of the past-their-due-date Liberals; but in all honesty, he has never had the strength of presence like Trudeau or Layton.
I'll likely be voting for them in the next election (not that it matters in fucking CPC-washed Alberta), but I've always wished he were a stronger leader.
