Help Rename The NDP

Great Moments In Socialism 47 Comments

I said it was a contest. And because this is the Party of Jack! you all take 4th prize.

award.jpg Knacker: CAP: Canadians Against Prosperity
Soccermom: The Socialist Eugenics Abortion Environmental Party of Canada
Stan: The Tommy ‘Sterilize ‘Em All’ Fan Club.
Dave in Guelph: The Pity Party
Speedy: Other Peoples Money Party.

The rest of you get to hold hands and cross the finish line together like proper little socialists.
(The National Post has other suggestions, none of them nearly as good.)

  1. DP…………too much!
    So every body gets a 4th place ribbon……
    We all tried soooooooo hard (kind of)…….

  3. opps, that should be N.A.S.I.
    I have an English keyboard–my swastika is missing.

  4. I think it’s so unfair that I didn’t win. That’s just so mean. You right wingers are just so mean. Isn’t it more important that we all tried? Does there have to be a winner? That’s just so mean. I mean we’re all special, why does there have to be a winner? I hate you right wingers. You’re all so mean.

  5. Other people already mentioned this in previous posts but I think this name captures the spirit of the ndp. They should just be referred to as…
    “The Party”.
    It works on so many levels.

  8. I suggest they maintain the TLA (Three Letter Acronym) due to voter recognition. However, I propose the following possible names for the party:
    NDP:
    Natural Dope Party – this captures several constituencies: The Greens; The Legalize Cannabisers and the Party Goers.
    National Daft Party OK, this works with non-knee-dippers but works for the rest of us; so scratch it.
    Now Do Protest This is a reference to how unwilling the party members are to turn up to events. Instead, the astroturf is laid by employing stoned day workers.
    The Astroturf Party Faux grass-roots is the defining characteristic of this groupuscule.

    Wouldn’t that be the NASCI PArty?
    How ’bout simply The Nasty Party?
    Or, more politely, The UNDesirable Party, UNDP?

  13. Actually I thought that my
    “Canadian United National Treehugger Socialists” ACRONYM summed up the party.
    But on reflection I concede that my choice reflects more on the party leadership than the party’s true political soul and reason for their existence.
    Communists.
    Of Kate’s five choices with due respect to the other four fourth place finishers I rather like …..
    “Soccermom’S: “The Socialist Eugenics Abortion Environmental Party of Canada.”

  14. Humm, what about “I’m Jack Layton and we blame everybody else except us socially advanced peoples party”
    Better still, call it the “Party of Jack”

  15. New Doper’s Party?
    New Malthus party?
    Darwin’s Revenge Party?
    Narrow dogmatics Party?
    and the best:
    Nothing Done Properly Party NDPP indee pee pee

  16. “Kiss me, I’m a Beaver” !
    Loggers and construction workers all over BC are falling down laughing at that one!

  17. How about the ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Party. All Bolsheviks can detect every flatulent git hovering in jailed koolaidlike limpwristed Marxist newsagents offices, parading quarantined regurgitated Stalinist thoughts underwriting very woeful xenophobic Yobist… Oh my God Zombies!!!!

  18. It seems evident, to me, that the dippers wanted to usurp from their socialist cousins in the US. Why else try to call themselves the ‘Democratic Party’?
    If this is the goal, I think they should have everything that goes with the DNC, including their official logo.
    Thus, the “Jack Ass Party”!

  19. If they call it the National Dumbass Party they can keep all the NDP letterhead and it won’t be false advertising any more. Natural Doofus Party works too. Nassssty D1ckhead Party?
    Or we could call it the Party of Jack like Kate says. But to capture it better it could the the You Know Jack party. Or We Know Jack, which would also be true. Or the Jack’s An Ass Party.
    That last one shortens nicely to the Jack’s Ass Party.
    But for the plain facts, Soccermom wins.

  21. The Never Ever Going To Form Government Party
    The NEGTFGP
    Hmm…
    The Never Ever Party
    Never
    Ever
    What do you mean NEP has baggage?

  22. If the conservatives ever need to rename, as if they haven’t done that enough times already, they could always call themselves the Conservative Reform Alliance Party or just plain CRAP for short.

  23. Jesu$ T, I’m just laughing my as$ off at your CRAP comment.
    The Post did make me laugh calling Layton the stubby bottle of canadian politics.

  24. If the dippers truly wished to encompass their party membership then there is only one name that suffices-the Gray Ponytail and Body Piercings Party of canaduh.
    It describes everything that they hold sacred. They do not get tied to policy so they can float all across the map there, it is inclusive and welcoming and may just attract current green party voters.
    I will be shocked,…..shocked! if they do not adopt this name.

  25. Come to think of it, Jack does bear a striking resemblance to Vladimir. Just pencil in a goatee.

  29. A storm is coming @8:08 – I’m with you on this, but I’m taking it to a whole ‘nother level. I’m filing a discrimination complaint – I was discriminated against because my entry was misspelled and not all that good – against SDA and Kate and the winners and anyone else I can think of (maybe Vitruvius?).
    I have an endless supply of self-pity and self-righteousness, but not a lot of initiative, so we’ll see how it goes. I may just go get drunk instead.

  30. Come to think of it, shouln’t there be a federal program for people like me – talentless, vindictive and lazy? Save me, oh Pity Party!

  31. Socialists work hard to remove competition from society, because it is inevitably “unfair”.
    I wonder, then, why it is that members compete to be leader of the Party?
    Jack, since everyone is equal, why not find a fair way to establish party leadership, and give everyone a chance?
    Or is competition a good thing? May the best man/woman win? How do you define best? Most intelligent? Best looking? Most money?
    The Party With the Love/Hate Relationship With Money. That’s my entry.

  32. From the Post article, I’d be willing to pay maybe $5 to see Jack call Iggy a hoser on national TV.
    Meanwhile, I can’t decide between two choices for the new party name:
    1) Labour Party.
    2) Sanctimonious Moonbat Party.
    Both seem to fit too well.

  36. “shouln’t there be a federal program for people like me – talentless, vindictive and lazy?”
    There is – it’s called the NDP.

  38. Hate to be serious about this, but.
    Labour Party is so apropos! After all, the huge bulk of support for the party comes from organized labour, and this would remove any and all suspicions about where they are coming from.
    But then, that would show honesty, and deception is a strong trait of the left, so that wouldn’t work.
    Watch for it, it will be a nice, warm and fuzzy name, that doesn’t evoke any harsh feelings either way, like, the Progressive Democrats, or
    Progressive Labour, or Reform…..oops, that’s been used!
    Still, no matter what, we can all agree that this is strictly Lipstick on a Pig (damn, crediting BarryO with something)

  39. The Peoples Organization of Prime Socialism or The POOPS or
    Popular Organization of Futility (POOF)
    or
    ACORN Canada ( I know it’s already taken)

  44. A little late to the party, but how about: The VPP
    The Video Professor’s Party.

  45. CDMP
    Canadian Democratic Multi-culture party
    or
    CDP
    Canadian Democratic Party
    I got email from NDP to my email junk mail and asking me to join and give my email they can contact me and I win price
    I was not sure it was NDP is the same NDP political party or simply junk email send to me

  46. Tax Spend Tax…. S.T.S. no realation to the car…gas hog…..money hog no different…..what ever they come up with it’s the same comrades, as before.

  47. I like the U.N.D.P. Has a certain ring to it. They could all wear blue berets and orange sweaters. Oh wait! Jack wants to beat up anyone who wears a sweater. He prefers the Star Trek tunic.
    Oh wait! The Away Team!
