All the NDP needs to do in the next election is hold onto its 37 seats, and to take 20 seats from the Libs, and the NDP will form the Official Opposition.
Looking at the stats, it seems that the NDP, apart from HOLDING the 37 seats it currently holds, needs to start organizing in the following 10 seats, and the number one Liberal seat to target is Gatineau. Does anyone know what is presently going on organizationwise in this Quebec riding.
Another good strategy is the "buddy" system, whereby each sitting NDP MP is responsible for two ridings, their own, and the closest one to them designated by the NDP's chief organizer.
