As I posted below, I wouldn't mind if it was just reframed as a minimum of 50% needing to come from cis women, non-binary, and trans. The exact same rule but worded in a way that isn't so potentially alienating for a major group of voters.
It's just so incredibly lacking in any political nous that it makes me feel like the party is politically clueless, which is not a great feeling when you support the party.
But hey, I'm not a leadership candidate. What's your idea for it?
As you so rightly point out, the central party has lost its way. A complete overhaul from its current strongly centralised state, to a more grassroots, democratic one is needed: a reclamation of the party by its members, and for its members - and hence for all Canadians. Too long has Canadian politics suffered in the two-party shadow of our southern neighbour: it's time for a viable third party to ascend to the government
Are you part of the Reclaim the NDP movement?
Are you the agm who recently joined the discord?
I wouldn't know anything about that 😏
Very well!
