New Democrats haven\u0027t come close to winning an election in Ontario since 1990. Why can\u0027t they win, or contend, like their western cousins?
They didn’t do that under now former leader Andrea Horwath and in the 2022 election, the NDP lost nine seats compared to the 2018 campaign and got fewer votes than the Liberals who still failed to achieve official party status after winning just eight seats.
Stiles took over the leadership officially in March but in reality much earlier given that she ran unopposed. So far, she’s following the same pattern as Horwath did in the last few years, speaking mostly to issues that appeal to the party’s base of unionized government workers and issues that appeal to downtown voters the NDP already has.Article content
“Well, you know what I would say sir, is that I intend to change that in three years and that right now what I’m continuing to do is build the movement out there all across this province to take on this government,” Stiles said. It’s all well and good for the NDP to win in downtown Toronto, but when they lose seats in Hamiton, Windsor and Timmins to the PCs as they did this last election, then the party needs to chart a new course and so far, there is no evidence of that.
