14. Why? They have nothing to offer

And Canadians are not insisting that the alternative to the Tories be just barely different than the Tories. The NDP are no longer anathema in Canadian politics.

Most of the NDP's ideas are popular. Most of their past leaders were highly regarded as individuals. Their MP's have consistently been the most conscientious, uncorruptable and socially committed people in Parliament.

Why, exactly, do YOU see the NDP as unacceptable? Is it that terrible that, unlike the Liberals, the NDP actually cares about workers and the poor?

Clearly, there's no reason for anyone with progressive values of any sort to prefer the Liberals to the NDP...especially since the Liberals no longer have any principles at all and haven't had any since Trudeau retired.
