The NDP's expected, and anticipated shipwreck

The NDP "Ship of Fools" has expectedly run aground. Sailing on the shallow waters of substance, this rudderless boat due to Captain Jack's early demise has lost (inevitably) their way. There are several, (and perhaps more) reasons for this shipwreck in the making. The "surprising" defection of one of their MP's, a very weak leader in Nycole Trumel, the recent Leadership debate which included the usual NDP rhetoric of how they believe they can solve all Canada's problems by bolstering social welfare programs using MILLIONS of dollars, and wanting Corporations pay more in taxes (oh, THAT's a new one!)-By the way, the (capitalist bashing) NDP, and, the Union "expert" mentality - WHO really does the hiring here? You do need to realize, that there HAS to be a HEALTHY private sector to enable it to contribute and maintain our Pension Plans. How can you have a healthy economy if your mandate is to punish Corporations?! More silly thinking. ANOTHER reason (and there are many) for the ships demise is it was buffeted by the winds of Conservative shrewd and discerning policies that the NDP cannot and will never be able to effectively criticize. This recent defection (I wouldn't be surprised to see more) is also due to the fact that the NDP is still full of themselves now that they have reached the heights of official Opposition and they don't know how to handle their form of what I (and others) call a misguided form of left-leaning popularity. This supported and promoted by a media which includes the CBC who they say speaks for all Canadians, (sure they do) which uses OUR tax dollars in order to do this. Add The (Toronto) Star and The Mop and Pail, oops again, I mean The Globe and Mail. All of this can ONLY be attained by the fickel voters in Quebec, who voted(disgruntled Bloc voters) for the charismatic Jack Leyton. I wonder how long Quebec will stick behind the NDP now that Jack is no longer in the picture? The NDP actually think they represent Canada even though there are very few seats in their caucus west of Quebec. 
The NDP, striving for mediocrity.
