Bring in Charlie Angus for a leader. 😁
100% this. The NDP need assertive, angry leadership. Someone who can stab at the political establishment with the righteous anger of the working class and demand worker's rights, a wealth cap, and an end to rent-seeking.
I think Singh shares a lot of those ideals, but his persona is just too friendly (he describes how to pronounce his name as "rhymes with hug" ffs). Every time I hear from Angus, I find myself shouting "fuck yeah!". That's the kind of leader the Left needs.
I agree that the party needs more aggressive leadership but as a person of colour I can guarantee Jagmeet's already weakening support would tank if he was seen as anything less than a model minority. Racist people don't want to see any brown man lead the country, much less an angry brown man.
That's a good point. It's infuriating that racism has an effect on our politics like this. Really what this says is: no matter what Jagmeet says or does, he's not electable because of his skin colour, and that's fucked.
I was an NDP supporter for a long time, until Mulcair started doing insane things like dragging the party to the right. Now I vote Green, since they're the only party that seems to care whether there is a world for my kid to grow up in, but I would come back to the NDP in a heartbeat if I saw them genuinely fighting for the planet and workers again. But it's the fighting I want to see.
