If you have a uniform and a faction logo like an 80's cartoon show you are a Good Guy and whatever you do is Good and Just, but if you don't you're just a thug and whatever who cares what happens to you, you're probably a rapist or want to feed the poor or something

Yup, I was an MP for a short spell. In peacetime we do the same thing civilian cops do (except for cases with rape, murder and treason), and since our sections tended to be small you really had to embrace the whole "MP means Multi Purpose" philosophy and be a bit bolder about taking your files into your own hands. Then someone catches you typing without looking at the keys and using keyboard shortcuts and the next thing you know you're a dayworking cube farmer

I know most people itt don't find NDP insider chat interesting but I'm gonna push on through:Helsing posted:The much more radical NDP / CCF of the past was able to exercise a lot of influence without ever winning a federal election. Canada doesn't particularly need another Liberal party, especially now that it's clear that the actual Liberal party is not on the verge of being wiped out. My preference would be for an anti-status quo party that offers a stronger alternative to the existing parties by championing policies like free tuition or significantly higher taxes on the wealthy or socialized dental care etc., hopefully while also trying to develop a stronger relationship with workers organizations and activists. So you want a return to the days where the NDP was a permanent 3rd party getting 10-15% of the vote every election? I sympathize, but as someone who worked alongside NDP staffers and is still friends with a few of them, I just can't agree with you. The jobs of those staffers and their MPs depend on winning elections. Now that the party's tasted victory, there's a strong culture of people whose careers depend on finding another victory. And that's not a bad thing, that's just part of being a mature political party that's capable of winning an election. Having a party full of part-timers, activists and grizzled union vets is all well and dandy, but if you actually form government you're gonna need a fleet of high-energy policy wonks who care more about getting poo poo done than about staying ideologically pure. In Greece we saw what happens when a left-wing protest party accidentally wins an election. I was incredibly excited about Syriza's victory because I thought they were going to revolutionize the way politics were done. Instead, they just made a bunch of amateur mistakes and squandered their opportunity. It's not like there's a dearth of leftist organizations promoting all kinds of radical policies. IMO the NDP doesn't need to be another one of those- it should be a serious political party whose job is to win elections and potentially form a government some day. If that means we get a less-corrupt, slightly-more-progressive version of the Liberals, then great! That still sounds better than the status quo to me. On the other hand, if there's going to be a society-wide leftist revolution that fundamentally transforms the way politics works in Canada, that's great too! But that shouldn't be the NDP's goal. There's a lot of really smart, driven people working insanely long hours for the NDP, people who frankly do more to advance leftist politics in a single election than a hundred grumpy old Marxists, and those people have staked their careers on the NDP being a professional, serious political party. It's neither fair nor realistic to expect those people to consign themselves to life on the political sidelines. They'll just hold their noses and jump ship to the Liberals instead. PS: Free tuition and any variant on it is awful policy, even when Barack Obama was doing it.

Yeah, the civilian police handle those because the MPs don't see enough of those cases to get good at them. And to head off the obvious joke, sexual assaults have to be reported before they get investigated and I'd wager two toes and a nostril that the rate at which CAF members report sexual assaults to anyone, MPs or civilian cops, is an order of magnitude lower than the rate at which civilians do.

I would rather vote for a leftist NDP that gets 15% of the vote each election than a Very Serious Moderate NDP that gets 18% of the vote each election, considering the only way the NDP are ever going to actually form government is if there happens to be an election where both the Liberals collapse and the Conservatives are somehow incompetent enough not to pick up the 5-10% of votes they need to take power. And in that scenario it actually does not matter which version of the NDP exists because voters don't give a poo poo anyway. Friendly reminder that a leftist NDP with a small amounts of seats is what gave us things like Medicare. Good thing Tommy Douglas wasn't worrying about how the centrist moderates would view that one!

I don't understand how someone could view the results of the last election and thinking moderation and herding towards the center is what is required. I mean people keep yakking about voting percentages, but that's exactly the type of cynical politicking that ruined the NDPs chances this time. The Canadian electorate isn't just demographic slices to acquire. They tried to remain the sober government-in waiting and it failed spectacularly. All it took was Trudeau yacking about change, and an extra 10% of the country voted. Races like Ottawa-Center really prove how much just engaging with voters means over micro-targeting policy and treating statistics and polls as the be-all and end-all of politics. E: the US system is much more cruel to economic heterodoxy yet Sanders is still a force to be reckoned with.
