Road map to a potential NDP breakthrough
Just six days remain in the federal election campaign, and poll after poll shows the NDP soaring ahead of the Liberals nationally and the Bloc Quebecois in La Belle Province. Analysts say if the momentum sticks, Jack Layton’s party could add dozens of seats to the 37 it already claims in the House of Commons. Which ridings, then, are potential NDP pick-ups? To glean a picture of the cross-country landscape, the National Post’s Kathryn Blaze Carlson spoke with Ipsos Reid president Darrell Bricker, B.C.-based former NDP strategist Bill Tieleman, NDP pundit Ian Capstick, and Youri Rivest, vice-president of Quebec-based polling firm CROP.
