While I am not affiliated with
any political party, I am very much interested in politics! For this reason, I
was following the NDP leadership elections with interest. I am glad Thomas Mulcair has won the race,
because I share his vision of the future of the party. Whether you call it
moving the party to the center or moving the center to the party, the party and
the center need to meet! This is a must to keep the party relevant and to widen
its presence on the political spectrum.
There are many Canadians, myself included, who
are not ready to join a right wing or a left wing party .Why? Because we stand in
the Middle! And we need a party that can share and promote our views .Unfortunately,
the Liberal Party has failed to accomplish this due to, in my opinion, weak
leadership. The last leader of the party that I admired was Jean Chrétien.
So now, let’s watch with interest how the NDP
will evolve and whether it will leave its comfort zone and become a party for
all Canadians!
