Looks like the NDP got locked out in the GTA again

looking at some sample ridings

Scarboough Centre: 14% this election (so far), down from 30% in 2011
Toronto Centre: 25% (so far), down from 36% in 2013
Beaches-East York: 23% so far, down from 41% (!!) in 2011

I know the NDP is going to try to hide behind the "Trudeau called a pointless election" narrative but this is loving sad

Not sure what the point of this party is if they can't even win anything in dense urban cores full of renters and skyrocketing costs of housing that should be their bread and butter electorate

They picked up one new seat in Vancouver, and one more is down to the mail-in ballots, so :shrug:.

Davenport is within one percent between NDP and the Liberal incumbent. Previous two elections it's been under 3% each time.

I was briefly on the National on Friday when they were following the candidates on the trail. Sadly they just used me saying "it was so close last time" and "good luck" and didn't use me saying that Shin voting against the conversion therapy ban was disgusting :v:

The Greens should probably just pack it in, or maybe license out their party name to the Marxist-Leninists or something. More people voted PPC than Green in my riding.

Gotta be bribing them since they're on the edge of forcing an early leadership review. Knowing Kenney he'll gently caress it up somehow.

Honestly, I think they just need to rebrand, including moving away from the 'Green' title, which I think is a holdover from when they were, ahem, a single-issue party that wasn't much in touch with reality.

Kyaieee!

As the Conservatives start to give more lip service to climate change and the Liberals continue doing a good job of pretending to care about it, is there even room for a Tesla Tory party? If the Liberal candidate in Kitchener hadn’t withdrawn, the Greens would have probably been reduced to just May’s seat. I feel like the Greens should try outflanking the NDP from the left if they want a chance at continued relevance going forward.

Edit - just to be clear, i don’t think going ecosocialist will yield much more electoral success for the Greens but it would at least make their existence more relevant in a PPC kind of way. With FPTP we can only have so many successful parties.

It'll be an uphill climb, their caucus went from 2/3rds eco-left, to a social entrepreneur and a literal Tory.

Hopefully Paul bankrupted the party so bad that only the eco-socialist's bother fighting for it.

They received, nationally, less than half as many votes as PPC. I don't know what they are, but they're not even the fourth choice any more.

If it hadn't been for that Liberal sex pest in Kitchener or wherever the Green party would be back to being Liz May and no one else. Which really would have signaled the party's death to the country IMO.

I could never ever see DeSantis and Abbot in the states just loving sucking it up and asking Biden for help since they can't even see their situation as a total catastrophe they're so far down the Trumpy rabbit hole. As much as Kenney and Ford suck some all time megadicks by Provincial leader standards we still have a ways to go yet till we get that sort of full blown Trumpy premier or PM it seems. Doesn't stop Kenney from being astonishingly bad at his job in plain sight though.
