NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will bring forward a motion of non-confidence to bring down the Trudeau government in the next sitting of the House of Commons.
“The Liberals don’t deserve another chance,” Singh wrote in a letter on Friday. “That’s why the NDP will vote to bring this government down.”
Yeah, WTF is he thinking? At least wait until October after we’ve had a chance to put out the Trump fire a bit.
Hopefully it’s a bluff to get Trudeau to resign, but that’s not really the typical NDP MO.
I hope so too but it doesn’t really seem like a smart move since it’d make their threats seem empty (though actually going through with this isn’t smart either…)
WTF is he thinking?
For better or worse, he’s probably reached the point where he thinks they need to cut all remaining ties to the Liberals, and not be seen as propping them up, formally or otherwise.
And that’s worth a PP government? IMO he’s lost the plot if that’s his entire line of thinking.
I’m torn on this.
On the one hand, I agree that a PP government is a terrible thing.
On the other hand, it’s hardly the NDP’s job to prop up another political party.
Yeah, WTF is he thinking? At least wait until October after we’ve had a chance to put out the Trump fire a bit.
Could it be thay he hopes the conservatives will take the fall for Trump’s chaos and be out of power quicker? Thats the only other angle Im seeing here.
That would be a galaxy brain 4D chess move. And pretty edgy honestly - that’s a lot of damage done just for the sake of political points.
I actually lean towards less-strategic, lower-pragmatism answers for this particular party. They have a reputation for blind partisanship.
