Manitob, Doer. That is where it started. Doer was a Lib who as MGEU brought Down the Pawley Govt and gave us Filmon, and a privatizied MTS. The NDP has absolutely done much to confuse people about the difference that exists between us and the Libs. I completely agree with a lot of you onn t his.
And then there's former NDP Ontario Premier Bob Rae, and former NDP BC premier, Ujjal Dosanj who actually became Liberal MP's. And there's former NDP Manitoba Premier Ed Schryer who was appointed by P.E. Trudeau as Governor General. And NDP Nova Scotia Premier Daryl Dexter who veered to the right while in power. And Jack Layton's NDP that supported some of Paul Martin's budgets. And David Lewis's NDP that saw eye to eye with many of PE Trudeau's Liberal initiatives. And Tommy Douglas NDP that supported many of Pearson's Liberal government initiatives. And former NDP BC Premier Glenn Clark who now represents Billionaire Jimmy Pattison. And Andrea Howath supporting a Liberal minority government. And Roy Romanow who's good friends with Jean Chretien. And Mulcair served in a Liberal Quebec government and believes the rich already pay more than enough taxes. Etc....
With many NDP leaders and movers and shakers getting along with Liberals, it should come as no surprise that many progressives see the Liberals as being a centre-left party, albeit to the right of a more leftist NDP.
How often have NDP party leaders like Bob Rae and Ujjal Dosanj joined the PC Party or Conservatives? How often has the NDP propped up the Conservative's or PC Party like they have often propped up Liberal governments?
