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.”
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.
You want a two-party system, then. That’s pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.
