Spineless, unprincipled, constantly making excuses about why they’re not doing anything, unwilling to do literally fucking ANYTHING to help the people they say they represent.
What are the underlying material conditions driving this?
Here in BC, Canada, the “social democratic” NDP government recently got a majority government, which means they can do literally anything they want. Pass any legislation they want. Pass any laws, any taxes, literally whatever the fuck they want.
And what have they done? FUCK ALL. Nothing. Not a single piece of legislation that I can think of. They’re taking as long as they possibly can to implement $15 minimum wage, no paid sick days, no card check legislation, fucking NOTHING. Instead of using the pandemic as the obvious reason to pass this legislation they are hiding behind it as their excuse to avoid doing literally anything useful.
This seems to be the case all over the Western world.
WHY?
Yeah provincial NDPs are just fucking Liberals. Your mileage may vary depending on the province obviously but provincial politics really seems like a one party state and you’re just voting for whatever leader you like (especially in Ontario).
Federally they might be a little bit different, but the federal NDP are far, far, away from a workers party and my man Jagmeet Singh just seems like an AOC shitposter type. Can’t even vote fucking communist because they run in like 10 ridings.
