The fact that they’ve managed to hold on well despite the massive anti-incumbent feelings worldwide is actually quite an accomplishment. Governments have been flipping almost everywhere else lately as people try to blame global inflation on their local parties.
I find it interesting that for decades, I heard people saying “gotta vote liberal/conservative to keep the conservatives/liberals from getting in. NDP? They have no experience governing and look at the debt the SoCreds got us into.”
And now that they’ve finally had a chance, they’ve shown us they can do a pretty good job without the corruption of the Liberals or the “burn everything down and revert to the 1950s” of the Conservatives.
What they haven’t figured out yet, because they’re actually about governing the people and not about gaining advantage for a minority group, is how to market themselves and distract people with single issue causes.
