Really, why stop at “New”?
Nearly 50 years after the New Democratic Party was founded, its members are soon to decide whether to lop “new” from their name.
The question is whether to do it abruptly in two weeks at a convention in Halifax or to put it to a consultation process and make the decision in two years at the half-century mark.
Whether the NDP should be renamed the “Democratic Party” promises a lively debate and vote by about 1,000 delegates at the party’s national biennial convention in Halifax Aug. 14-16th.
Yes, it’s a contest!
Oh, I knew this was coming! That the NDP would want to change their name AND Kate would start a contest, LOL!
canadian socialist party
Irrelevant.
The Democratic Communist Party of Kanada
A dipper is a dipper is a dipper.
I thought they decided a couple of years ago to drop the P and just be the ND’s. Guess they’re the DPs now.
Phonetically, I like “The DDP” — the double dipper party.
How aboot Moonbats Be Us? Better yet, how aboot the Canadian Leftwing Advancement Party, aka The CLAP?
The Previously Enjoyed Democrats
Oh, this is going to be fun! How about the Nascent Democratic Party? Do I get more guesses? The Nerdy Democratic Party? That’s unfair to nerds.
Dipshits.
Shall we set up a poll that goes “horribly wrong”?
TDD, “Tommy Douglas Diggers”.
Why is Tommy Douglas buried in a shallow grave? So the NDP can dig him up at a moments notice.

If they really meant the “democratic” part of their name, they’d go with one member, one vote instead of delegates. Next thing you know, they’ll be adding “peoples” and “republic” to their name.
But, in a nod to Jack! his own fine self, how about “A Third Choice”?
I hate to say it BUT!!!
If they drop the New and just refer to themselves as the Democrats. With a new leader from Quebec
ie Trudeau they could form the next government.
Scary eh.
Canadian Democratic Party
CDP for short.
That’s so far the favourite amongst Jack’s people.
They say they won’t mind being confused with Obama’s Democratic worshippers, thinking they too are worthy of adulation and votes based on rhetoric and slogans.
Jack loves to say “Hope and Change” and pretty soon, yes we can.
Do you think h has beat ignatieff to the ride on Oh Bama’s coatailsed?
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Party
Works for me.
Same Tawdry Dipshit Socialists….STDS
I’ll back Knacker at this point , well done .
Apparently my ancient Ukrainian grandmother, who’s lived for about 80 years in Alberta, used to call them, completely without irony, “Bolshievikey” (sp.?).
Maybe they could just go with that.
The CBC
The Stuck on Stupid (Forever) Party
The Progressive Retards Of Canada Party
The “We’re Socialists and We Want YOUR Money Party”
The “We Love Taxing You to Death Party”
The Green Party
On the conservative side, there’s the Canadian Rightwing Advancement Party, aka The CRAP?
Better yet, I propose the Stephen Harper Institute of Theocratical Studies (The SHITS).

You beat me to it Celina. “The Party” is perfect. So much easier when issuing totalitarian decrees to just do so in the name of “the Party”.
Plus you’re not bogged down by inconvenient adjectives like “Democratic”, or restricted to towing any ideological line. No matter what you do or how contradictory your policies, the good of “The Party” trumps all.
An additional plus is they would not have to search for a new leader to be the face of “The Party”. For obvious reasons Layton is perfect.
The Canadian Leftwing Advancement Party (The CLAP)
The National Socialist Party of Canada (sorry Hitler)
The Socialist Eugenics Abortion Environmental Party of Canada
I disagree on “The Party”, have you ever met a Dipper. They are anything but a party. self-loathing miserable pricks.
The Poopers is more appropriate.

They only started contemplating this to ride the Obama wave. How about OBAMA’S A FRIEND or OAF.
I went with a central thesis — The leftists need to invoke their hopes and dreams for the future and also pay tribute to those who paved the way. Lastly, it had to represent the spirit of the “in touch” nature of the membership while still shocking the bourgeois public like a giant, Canada-wide gay pride parade*:

*Not that there’s anything wrong about being proud of your life!

The Loopty Loo Party
Should we go loopty loo? Should we go loopty la? Should we go loopty loo…all on a Saturday night!
i seiously think they should unite with the Greens….together i truly believe they could build a winning platform for resolving what ails Canadian politics.and the lives of present and future generations of Canadians…..i sincerely hope they do so….finally we would have a majority government sensible of the challenges we face in the coming decades…and one willing to DO SOMETHING about the issues we simply must address…
The New Liberal Party
Great bit of satire john begley! Just great!
