This idea was based on monumtem, that Singh beat Trudea at every clash. Success leads to more success kind of thinking. The major problem there was no monumtem no victores agaisnt, Trudeua can fail a dozen times and in the end he will win if the monumtem is broken. Truduea rans the show and with that comes, the PM, the well funded party. He can lose many fightings but Singh loses one fight its over. And Singh and NDP lost fights one after the other. By election to by election, Singh was branded the person run over Trudeau. Once it became common news that he was a potitical dud it was to late. Now we have crippled leader and no policy messaging what the NDP stands for. Everything was built on personality of the leader, rather than policy.On what basis did you make that determination. I don't recall any of his supporters presenting those arguments. Singh does have some of Trudeau's qualities but that doesn't mean that is why he was elected. Do you really think that when the election rolls around the NDP won't have any policy or platform to introduce?
Who, out of the candidates presented for leadership would have better numbers than Singh right now? Do you think Angus, who was in second place, would have done better in the byelections?
Singh was vocal about he dominate trudeua, and he entourarged the idea of fight of leaders. And the media was only to to happy push the idea of a clash of the leaders. I will find some articles to point to this out.
This was before he won the leadership of the NDP? (before or after I will read the articles)
