I know people who will vote the conservative ticket solely because they’re still mad about the BC NDP of the 90s having a bunch of scandals. The “never NDP” crowd are a mirror of the “never Liberal”/“never Conservative” crowd.

When people make up their minds on something and build up a bunch of emotional insulation around it, they’re never going to budge on their position. Their egos can’t allow it. It’s like a slightly less pathetic version of the polarization in US federal politics.

My dad is like that. He still doesn't trust the NDP and thinks they'd mess up as bad as they did back then. He instead votes Libertarian...
