The race to replace former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, meanwhile, kicked off this week.

Singh stepped down from the party’s leadership on election night, after he lost his own seat and the number of MPs elected to the House of Commons was slashed to seven.

One of the party’s leadership race rules is drawing criticism: namely that of the 500 member signatures required on a potential candidate’s nomination form, at least half must be from members who do not identify as a cisgender man.

On a recent episode of The Paikin Podcast, hosted by Canadian journalist Steve Paikin, Davies said that in his view, the NDP during the last election veered “too much from (its) class-based analysis to identity politics.” He said the party needs to find the “right balance” of those things.

I've the slight feeling no one will need to as there could be a Lib-Con coalition, working together to enact Harper-era policy, generally in alignment save for the Conservatives' yappy chihuahua-like leader.

Considering how reflexively partisan Poillievre is, and how much he's encouraged unthinking partisanship among the conservative voting base, I can't see him supporting much of anything Carney does.

The concern is that Carney pulls a Starmer, do conservative things anyways, and just make right-wing nonsense the default.

If PP loses credibility with his MPs, some could join in voting with Carney on legislation they like.

Starmer is still left of Carney

I could hopefully see the NDP not crossing the floor, they are centre left. The other two options are closer to right then the centre and the conservatives.

The NDP membership may be a coalition of different degrees of "left", but the elected representatives are politicians, many of whom will do what they believe is best for their careers.

The NDP is just a political party. The membership, the politicians, and the execuitives are all separate parts with separate goals that often do not align. A significant paart of the last two groups only care about winning elections.
