Look at the polls. Mark Carney gained almost entirely from the NDP to tie the conservatives. The Conservatives did not lose a vote.
If I was the NDP, that would piss me off. But they need to ask themselves, who do they want to win the election. It is very clearly not going to them. And, if they dunk on Mark Carney too much, it may not be him either.
Would the NDP prefer Mark Carney or Pollivere? They need to decide because, if the libs and NDP are stuck in a zero sum game, it may actually be the NDP that gets to decide the next election. The conservative vote appears locked in. The only question is how the everybody else is going to vote.
The NDP stands zero chance of winning. The best they can do is official opposition, and even that is asking for a miracle. Frankly speaking, they should be asking themselves what's the best realistic position the party can manage this election, and that's to whittle away votes from the Cons.
As long as the Conservatives have a strong voter base, the only thing the NDP can do is canabolize liberal votes, which is a lose-lose proposition when the liberals don't even have a majority. Even in the best case of this scenario, they're just splitting the votes and handing the Conservatives the win.
Instead of trying to nab a small number of easy votes, go they need to go for the harder but far bigger votes. Convince Canadians that voting for the Cons goes directly against their own interests.
