What Would Ontario NDP Need from Supporters If This If This Has to Go to An Election? ** Anyone Willing to Help If Needed??

What would the Ontario NDP need from supporters if this needs to go to another election?

 

???ie: Donations...Volunteers??

 

Who is on board to help if needed?

Regions: 
Doug

Oh, about $5 to 7 million. And that's just for the central campaign.

Would the unions being affected by the cuts donate to the war chest?

I don't see alot of takers to your call Dr. Manderly

You need ALOT of money and bodies to fight an election..

yeah... Sad, but think NDP Ontario risks their supporters blaming them for the massive unemployment, and staying home next election..

 

Also see a risk to federal NDP..since Ontario is needed for their break through...folks still hate the NDP from Bob Rae

 

Did like that Andrea at least said we need a jobs plan...250 Million is not enough to do much...but it is a start! Drop in the bucket

 

The Debt crisis is fake, and Ontario is about to become Greece if the cuts pass...

The Ontario NDP platform is just bizarre... an odd combination of vaguely left-wing ideas and populist nonsense. Cutting taxes on various non-renewables, for example, reminded me a bit too much of the BCNDP's limp "Axe The Tax" campaign of 2009, which alienated just enough environmentalists that they had to seek refuge elsewhere. I'm glad she brought in a few more seats but I still found their whole campaign just puzzling.

I think they need a coherent strategy if they're going to barrel into another election so soon. Might I suggest that Brian Topp, having recently been cut loose from a chance to accomplish anything for the party in the near future, sit down with Andrea and work out a more successful strategy.

The ONDP is not ready for an election. Not only is it still in debt but it needs to get its house in order. It's not even ready for official opposition status.

Same applies to the other parties as well. For all the talk, they will find a way to make this budget pass, because their survival depends on it.

Sure, but for the one pillar on which support would have to rest to pass a budget, for an NDP leader to insist that it be an expensive tax credit... man the optics are bad.
