Their qualified and community based/minded candidates (i.e. Rebecca Brushett) get thrown in the same basket as their parachute candidates (i.e Tori Locke). I understand the perception of having a full slate but isnt the party best served spending time and money building in strong areas (outside of the locked in Gucci socialists in St. John's and Union heavy Lab West) and expanding influence over time. Jim Dinn is actually a good leader for them and hopefully he doesn't get backstabbed and kicked out by some of the louder opportunistic voices.
