Hence why this was brought up at at least one commission meeting. In-groups and out-groups are incompatible with the egalitarian principles leftist, progressive parties espouse
Edit: nevertheless, some groups need a little extra help to become equal with other groups. How would you propose going about this important task?
As I posted below, I wouldn’t mind if it was just reframed as a minimum of 50% needing to come from cis women, non-binary, and trans. The exact same rule but worded in a way that isn’t so potentially alienating for a major group of voters.
It’s just so incredibly lacking in any political nous that it makes me feel like the party is politically clueless, which is not a great feeling when you support the party.
But hey, I’m not a leadership candidate. What’s your idea for it?
As you so rightly point out, the central party has lost its way. A complete overhaul from its current strongly centralised state, to a more grassroots, democratic one is needed: a reclamation of the party by its members, and for its members - and hence for all Canadians. Too long has Canadian politics suffered in the two-party shadow of our southern neighbour: it’s time for a viable third party to ascend to the government
Do you recognize the political incompetence of framing the rule the way that it is on the books?

How about we treat people as if their votes are equally valuable maybe?

Are you part of the Reclaim the NDP movement?
Are you the agm who recently joined the discord?
I wouldn’t know anything about that 😏
Very well!
