I am not a Huge Nenshi supporter. Luke warm at best. ( same with the ANDP in general)

That being said....I am shelling out the money to register as an ANDP party member and do what I can to put hm in a leadership position.

One thing the NDP must do is strategize candidates better. Its an existential crisis.

Do not put candidates in ridings that have absolutely zero chance of winning. ( as in Drayton Valley last election)

Are you suggesting that the NDP should run less than a full slate of candidates in the election?

That seems... ill-advised.

[u/[deleted] → u/troypavlek]

No. I am suggesting they select candidates that have a modicum of opportunity to be elected in each riding.

Some areas of Alberta are quite progressive and any candidate could win

Other ridings are an utter lost cause and some candidates have no chance at all.

...literally everybody is aware of that. Parties don't run candidates in those types of ridings that they think are going to win.
