Die NDP des Bundes wählt den Filmemacher Avi Lewis zum neuen Vorsitzenden

More political families holding on to the grip of power.

I didn’t want to vote in this leadership, the candidates were not inspiring IMO. I think the NDP might be heading into irrelevance unless there is a drastic push away from social issues and for economic ones.

Avi with his past comments of no miltary spending I don’t think this will go well with the general public.

All you have to do is watch some of the footage coming out of their convention hall and see how they organized speaking opportunities among the attending delegates to understand how unserious this party has become.

This is not the party of his grandfather anymore, it’d be completely unrecognizable to him.
