Andrea's poll has far more than 2200 responses.
How did you happen to pick that number? "A sample of 1,600 people gives you a margin of error of 2.5 percent, which is pretty darn good for a poll." Are you now going to quibble over the acceptable margin of error?
So essentially you demand opinion polls but refuse to accept any poll results that contradict your preconceived prejudices about the right-wing intransigence of the Canadian working class.
Why am I not surprised?
Andrea's poll is of NDP members. So she knows she won't lose any votes among the membership.
So what?
That is not even including those who voted NDP last time- never mind those who might but did not which is the group we really need to talk to.
In any case I agree she is doing a good job and polling members for ideas was smart.
Insisting on something for the most vulnerable is also essential.
But to force an election now-- I sure hope she makes the right move on that. Very risky.
Also very risky for the Liberals so they ought to be listening.
No, she solicited comments from the public. I'm not a member, but I submitted my comments, as did many other non-members.

Yeah, 'cause that's exactly what I implied, Gaian.
It's ironic that someone who boasts about how well-read he is would try so hard to misread my response to Sean.
Oh interesting. I guess there were two initiatives because mine came by email --obviously party list.
Well it is good that she did that.
