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!
I really like:
“Canadian National Socialist Party”
aka
“The Party”
National Deadbeat Party
Actually, I already did this with PollDaddy:

If you ask me, DP is an apt description of what the party will do to Canadians if ever elected…
The Canadian Unionist Party-CUP
The $1.95 Per Vote Party-DPVP
The Taxpayer Funded Party-TFP
The Public Unionist Democrat party-PUD
The Fundless Unionist Collective party-
What??? Me Carry The Water????
The Party of F – Freaks, Felons and Freeloaders
Skinny Dippers Party
So called New Democratic Party is neither new nor democratic
My thoughts exactly, Lev. But conversely, the Conservative Party is not conservative. The Liberal Party is not liberal. What is a voter to do?
NDP – Not Done Pandering
Smelly Old Hippie Party
the “Tommyrotters”….
Dipps and Doddles Party of Canada – sorry too early in the morning. Great contest. Isn’t it amazing how helpful Canadians are to their fellow citizens. Can we submit these to the NDP for approval and win prizes?
Numb Dumb Party —
Saves changing old stuff and buying new stuff. Just apply stickers and reuse. Very Green.
Also would be party with most accurate name. That should count for something on the political honesty scale.

Just starting to wakeup – may have spelled Doodles wrong – yes I did. Dipps and Doodles Party of Canada. CUPE providing 1st prize “free lunch”. Cheers.
Comrades of the Canadian Communist Party.
Or CCCP for short.
National Deadbeat Party, Narcissistic Depraved Party. Marginalized nutjob party.
Smelly Tie-dyed and Outraged Party
STOP
Totally Awesome Radical Democrats….the TARD party.
Meddlers, Anarchists, Revolutionaries and X-Dressers
Or the MARX Party
CTP (Carrot top party)= Have you notice how many reps they have (Especially women) with red hair?
UUDTPP= United Unions Dependent on Tax Payers Party
The Labour Party
This description from wikipedia fits a lot of what the Dippers are about:
“The name Labour Party, or similar is used by several political parties around the world, particularly common in countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. They are most commonly, but not exclusively, social democrats or democratic socialists and have been traditionally allied to the Labour movement and trade unions. Many labour parties are members of the Socialist International”
The I’s have it.
Incompetent, Irrelevant and Immaterial
Other Peoples Money Party.
How about a little truth in advertising?
50 Years of NDP! As in “No Democratic Plurality”
Something reflecting their actual policies and party structure: the “Anachronistic Oligarchic Party”.
IngSoc.
And rename the leader ‘Big Brother’.
Jack Layton even has the moustache.
Not the Video Professor (NVP)
They are irrelevant, whatever the name. They are the same frumpy, dowdy canuck political spinster who has waited decades for a date, but nobody has obliged.
Doubtless the name will include the word “democratic”, or perhaps “Canadian People”, “freedom” or maybe (less likely) “republic”.
Mark Steyn has observed – quite rightly so – that the most repressive political regimes on earth always contain combinations of these words. Examples: German Democratic Republic (E. Germany), People’s Republic of China, etc. The country that espouses “the people” in their political name usually are the furthest from giving them any consideration, and “Democratic” parties containing the name are usually anything but. I’m not saying the NDP is in league with these monsters, but it approves in principle of the same narrow-minded, government-mandated statist focus that is employed in the Big Leagues.

Bloodsucker Party. Parasite Party. Nazionalsozialistische Deutche Arbeiterpartei. Weenie Party. Thick Party. Killjoy Party. Crackhead Party. Welfare Party.
Guilt Ridden Idea Party: The GRIPes. Or Old Ideas That Never Worked Party.
millenium people’s party – we fix everything – with the best of intentions!
“The Deocratic Party – reliving class struggle since the 1930s”
oops – “Democratic” – sorry
whatever they call themselves they are, were and always will be clowns, hucksters and communist lite; still wondering what Wacky Jack has to say, but it must be tough to make a statement when his lips are stuck to Obama’s ass
with full recognition to Joel from proudtobecanadian, doesn’t the new HAVE to be the “you’ve GOT to be kidding me” party?? :0D
The Stuck On Stupid Party or SOS (since this seems a little desperate)
Wouldn’t that be a Counter-revolutionary Crime? Sounds like another purge is on order …

This cartoon cracks me up! Perfect!
Nasty Deficit Protagonists
Not new. Not very democratic. And not anybody you’d want to party with.
And all three of those have been true for many years. I’d just as soon they didn’t change anything so that nobody’s gulled into thinking that they’ve really changed.

we have “new” names too
like J.Lo or JL or etc
The Dominion Of Urban Canadians Helping EveryBody Aquire Government Services (DOUCHEBAGS).
I guess that would make Jack Layton the biggest DOUCHEBAG of them all.
In all seriousness, here are the Ingredients For The Name of a Socialist Party:
– Socialist
– Progressive
– Democratic
– Left
– Solidarity
Any combination of the above – with “Party” (cuz “alliance” is tainted) – will be the name of the new federal leftist bunch.
