The NDP is structured far differently than the LPC, by design and by history.
The riding associations and individual party members wield a lot of power; unlike the LPC, where it is centrally controlled and dictated to by President and Party Leader. Your average NDP supporter gives no fucks about holding to power, only if their party continues to represent their interests and beliefs, through their candidates and party leader.
The NDP has strayed far away from those values and there are a lot of people in Team Orange that want to hit the reset button. Those who get to decide if Singh continues to ride the gravy train are the ones who aren't onboard with him.
If the LPC had retained a similar structure in their constitution before PMJT consolidated power in himself, he would have been turfed at latest this summer.
Dippers can stand being called many things, but LPCLite is grating on nerves a lot of folks never thought they had.
