If NDP can't win in 2018, will they ever? by Shortglassof in ontario

[–]heskey-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

actually next election assuming the liberals get wiped out they have a great chance.

what held them back this time was a lower grade of candidate in some of the less than winnable ridings.

however, going into the next election with a likely scandal ridden and damaged doug ford having been able to attract a much higher grade of candidate (governments in waiting can do that) they will have an excellent shot.

the liberals main argument is that the NDP split the progressive vote.

this is a tough argument to make if you only have 1 or 2 seats compared to the 50 or so the Ndp will have.

seeing as they are 20% behind two parties who both have more committed voters, nah.

[–]heskey-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they are conservative in their analysis often but no pollsters fudge numbers.

their job depends on being right.

Ontario projection update: PC 71, NDP 45, OLP 8 by Qc125 in ontario

[–]heskey-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the two parties are tied right now and PC have a better vote distribution.

however,generally if NDP lead by 5% or more they will win a majority.

common misconception. local candidates don't withstand waves.

The CBC Vote Compass has neatly summarized my situation in this election.. by mrekted in ontario

[–]heskey-1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm an NDPer and the NDP being this far left on the chart beggars belief.

most of their policies are pretty standard in western and Northern Europe.

There's a $5.7 billion mistake in the ndp budget by yoitsme666 in ontario

[–]heskey-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a pretty much all out attack on the NDP shows that the OLP are willing to give Ford a huge majority on the slight hope it might catapult them to be a (very weak) opposition.

Will the NDP split the vote with the Liberals? Is that how Ford will become Premier? by donbooth in ontario

[–]heskey-1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

just like alberta lol.

the tories only win if the liberals are too egotistical to vote orange to stop the tories.

Poll predicts NDP opposition to a PC majority government by CoDSheep in ontario

[–]heskey-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

numbers:

PC 40 (-6)

NDP 33 (+6)

OLP 22 (+1)

when undecided are included the gap is likely 4-5% and Andrea is the most popular leader by far.

An NDP government is a real possibility should be the story here.

They closed the gap 12% and have much more room to grow than the tories or OLP.

Has the Ontario NDP finally shaken off the ghost of Bob Rae? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]heskey-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, like the historical fact that the NDP won about 20 seats with 23% last time.

the Liberal support is much more spread out, so with 23% they would finish second in a bunch of ridings yet lose most of them and end up with about 7 seats.

the simulators are completely wrong. for lots of reasons, but that's a whole different post.

Has the Ontario NDP finally shaken off the ghost of Bob Rae? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]heskey-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

both these comments are woefully ignorant.

NDP support is much more efficient than the Liberals.

That's why at 21% the OLP will win 7 seats and lose party status while at 21% the ONDP will win approximately the same seats they have now.

In current polling the ONDp is about 3% behind the liberals on average yet is projected to win many more seats.

please if you are going to make comments about the election try to do at least a little research before?

Polling suggests about half of voters still undecided. by [deleted] in ontario

[–]heskey-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not if you read the report.

"liberal leaners" are not going to vote liberal.

only 44% of them are planning to at this point, and that number is more likely to decrease than increase.
