I really think NDP should focus on building a movement through education and grassroots engagement rather than focusing on elections right now. What we need is a vision people can get behind and stay committed to for the long haul. The platform of socialism is the correct vehicle here because it offers a structural alternative to the current system. It’s not about this or that individual issue that libs and cons fight over. It’s acknowledging that our current liberal capitalist system is not operating in the interest of the working class majority, and that we need a fundamental change in how the country is run.
