      Not surprised these two would try and consolidate each other’s supporters, a bit surprised they are launching this effort under Postmedia’s imprimatur.

      Ashton and Mcpherson are largely fighting for the same voters. If one of them drops, I think the other has a way better chance of winning. They should consider it to keep Lewis out.

      I think their message that the NDP should work with the provinces is on point: they should be looking to where the party has had success. Additionally, a lot of the things the NDP cares about (labour, housing, healthcare, education, etc) are generally controlled at the provincial level; the federal NDP should be working more closely with their provincial counterparts to enact more progressive, pro-labour policies. The federal NDP really needs to stop trying to use the federal government as a lever to enact policies that should be implemented at the provincial level; it’s not like they can’t support or collaborate with provinces enacting those policies.

      I think it’s pretty clear that Lewis needs 45%+ of the vote on the first ballot or he can’t win this. It would be smart for McPherson and Ashton to go complete bomb the bridge mode at this point and demonize him and show just what a shit show the NDP will be with Lewis as leader (as in probably wiped off the map next election) and pound some sense into the delgates.

      Honestly they might as well cross endorse each other, much better strategy than just throwing attacks against Avi Lewis.
