Great piece. It never ends. National media predicted the NDP would die at the 1983 convention held in Regina, overcome by dissent unleashed by MP Doug Anguish. Six years later we won our largest number of seats to date, unleashing despair that we hadn't done much better.
That comment is often made, but I've been around for a relatively long time now, and we've moved to the left since 2011 in just about every issue, from foreign affairs to taxation and even the environment.

The NDP struggle because they're policies are not distinct and they've alienated their social movement base.
