They’re essentially going for broke with a finger in on the trigger for a election. This could get the Liberals to yield on some extra things which would win NDP some votes or a very early election which would be a big loss to the NDP and Liberals.
Liberals could also technically call their bluff and just keep on with what they’re doing in which case could win them some NDP voters.
Yeah, it seems like a risky play for the NDP. They’re unlikely to be more powerful post-election. If it looks like the Cons are gonna win, people are more likely to vote strategically for the Libs to keep them out. It seems like they have a lot to lose. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out over the next few weeks.
People shit on Jagmeet as being a poor leader, but I think he’s done surprisingly good job getting policies out of the Liberals with 25 seats.
On the side of winning extra seats for his party he’s getting into Kevin Falcon(BC United) level of competency where he’s close to folding up his party. As a NDP Voting Reform person I hope this gamble works out.
