Singh just announced he is stepping down as party leader.
I dont believe the hype. I think he'd have been great.
I don't dislike Singh but I don't think he was a good leader.
I don't think he saw his own failures coming, but I've been saying for a while this would happen.
I don't think he did a good enough job getting the message out to the working class, and that needs to be the NDP foundation. Unless it's a worker party, what actually separates it from the greens?
I actually do like most of their platform, and the platform is bold. I Also like that he did push for dental and pharma, but as released those programs are a huge frustration to me.
I feel you, I think the NDP needs another Jack Layton. He was lightning in a bottle.
I imagine Singh could've approached an adequate level of leadership and approval he had if he kept accumulating more political outreach experience rather than step down, but so it goes.
I think he performed well in the debates. I wouldn't be surprised if the NDP has trouble filling his shoes. Though they may be able to by picking someone who is more 'demographically palatable' to the average Canadian.
That's a nice way to put it, but I agree. Accept the sad reality and put forward a candidate who can realistically win. Once in power you can work on reducing racism/sexism etc.
