I’ve read like two articles on this guy and can already tell he would have stolen a lot more liberal support when they crashed than Singh pissed away
It will be interesting to see if they’re granted party status, since that seems to be Davies’s main goal. I heard that without it they will have to lay off 100 staff or something, which would be an even bigger blow.
But if the party wants change, they have to start looking at the top. The executives there have consistently underperformed, and if they were telling the truth about spending $35 million this campaign, grossly misallocated those funds. If Watson or Howard don’t move on, then it’s unlikely there will be any real changes.
There was a pretty clear path to try to keep official party status this election, but instead it seems the party burned money on flying Singh back and forth from Toronto to Burnaby. They wasted so many resources on ridings which they were a ridiculous margin behind, that there is no excuse for spending resources there. They were supposed to be in save the furniture mode, and the furniture just burned.
The party should have had internal data showing them 50 points behind in Downtown Toronto, and stopped allocating resources there. Send every single resource in Ontario to the 3 incumbent ridings, since those are the only ones they have a chance to hold.
I don’t know if there is anything better they could have done in the prairies, so that gets a pass.
But BC is their biggest fumble. The party executive sunk all their resources into Burnaby Central, even though it should have been obvious Singh had no chance to win there. The party executive clinged to the hope that he could win there and they’d be able to stay on longer, and ultimately severely hurt the party. Most resources should have went into New Wesminster, Kingsway, and the 3 Van Isle seats they were competitive in. They could have allocated millions there, and instead wasted it on frivolities.
Don’t run a national campaign when you should be running a hyperlocal campaign.
> Outlining Davies’ initial plans to rebuild and renew the NDP, the party says it is now conducting a “thorough review” of the election results, and Davies will be engaging in an “open, grassroots process” that will involve listening to the communities that make up the party’s base.
> “We need to take a hard look at how we got to where we are, and we need a clear view of where we’re going,” Davies said. “We need to reconnect with working people and show them that the NDP is their party, the one that fights and delivers for them.”
This is good to see. With any luck, they’ll actually listen to what the people they engage with in that process have to say
Wow this guy sounds great, that means they won’t let him be leader I’m sure. To much talk about workers and not enough about extremely progressive policies.
