What I find most interetsing is that no one commented on the possible plight of 12 workers of your party. Not sure if this is a socialist greater good over the individual thing, but I thought it intriguing as yours is the party of labour.
This is a very interesting point and one that we should all take to heart. Thanks for pointing this out, Tanya.
I have to also pointout that although not as many of you poste das the other two parties, you are more interetsing than than the conservatives, but not as civil with one another as the liberasl.
I think it is important to note that this is not a sponsored NDP messageboard and, as you can see from some posters, includes non-NDP leftists and Greens. While there is a concentration of New Democrats here, a more representative sampling of NDPers would be the party's e-mail discussion listserv, Mouseland. This might be more productive for you if you intend to use this for any academic work you might be doing.
I also found it intersting in looking at other connected themse that conversation alway pro- (or re-) gressed into the same debate, mainly polarizing philosophical views of your party. It seems to a non-partisan observer that these issues need to be hashed out at some point so you can focus on the actual issue at hand,
You seem a little unfamiliar both with the way threads tend to develop on web forums and with how discussion works within political parties. It seems like you are at an early point in your studies. I wish you the best of luck with them!
