Against Third Way centrism and neoliberalism!

[sabotabby]

Okay, kids! My NDP leadership ballot has come in the mail. I know my first choice (Nash, though Saganash is still on the ballot and he was my first choice until he dropped out) and my penultimate and last choices (Singh and Mulclair respectively), but I still need to rank the other candidates. And I'm really quite undecided.

So, fellow Canuckistanis, give me your choices and rationale.

By the way, until quite recently, I have never been a member of any political party. As a left-wing opportunist, I joined mainly as one more vote against an NDP takeover by right-wing opportunists. Now the NDP calls me and e-mails me seventy gazillion times a day. That's what you get for getting involved in electoral politics. Even in first-year university when the International Socialists were trying to court me, they didn't bug me this much.

Oh, I hadn't thought that people would join just to vote for a leader. Ah well - my first choice declined to run. :(

Well, not just. But it was a significant factor in why I joined when I did.

Me too, and several other people I know. I've been a member in the past, but never very good about renewing promptly.

Ditto.

Tens of thousands of people joined to vote for leader.
