The federal NDP is 100% unswervingly in support of proportional representation.

'Unswervingly in support' unless it means including leaders of political parties who would have representation under PR in the debates. It was a terrible decision, it made the NDP look hypcritical on an issue which they Lost and had to backtrack on when they could have looked principled and sympathetic to Green voters.

If you want to complain, complain to the BC NDP which is based in (drumroll please) BC. This is not a Toronto vs. BC issue.

Laughing That's true. I'm just saying that Torontonians who think democratic reform is a non-issue in BC, really don't know what they are talking about and if they want to set up a scavenger hunt to prove them wrong they should provide prizes. The Federal NDP's weak BC campaign in the last election is not that relevant to this thread although Anderson's article does suggest that the Other Side isn't blind to this soft spot in the party's heel.
