So it seems the NDP are in trouble. Low poll numbers and they seem to have slacked on nominating candidates. While the CPC have candidates in all 338 ridings and the Liberals and Greens are getting close, the NDP are only covered in 175/338 ridings. Even the small, upstart People's Party are over 300 now. And the New Democrats have now lost 14 potential candidates in New Brunswick, former provincial candidates who have publicly backed the Greens instead. So, will the story of this election be the NDP f'ing up? I mean, seriously, the election date has been known for years due to the fixed date law and the deadline for dropping the writ (which can be dropped any time between September 1 and 15 under current rules) is similarly no secret. Why the hell are they so far behind with a campaign looming?
Poll-wise, the CPC and Liberals continue to be in a statistical tie, though some analysts suggest that the Liberals growing strength in seat-rich provinces like Ontario gives them an edge. The NDP and Greens lag well behind but, given the tight race between the leaders, it is likely that one or both will end up holding the balance of power in a minority. The Bloc seem to be coming back, at least a bit, in Quebec as voters there abandon the NDP for them and the Liberals. The new People's party remains a rump party for now and hopefully stays that way given how much their leader has been espousing alt-right views (2.6% is one number I heard).
