Mr. Rawlinson received 14.8% percent of the vote in the London West riding, which saw the Liberal candidate Kate Young unseat the Conservative incumbent Ed Holder 45% to 35%. The New Democratic Party (NDP; French: Nouveau Parti démocratique, NPD) is a social-democratic federal political party in Canada. The leader of the NDP is Thomas Mulcair, who was elected in the 2012 leadership election, led the party through the 2015 federal election and then lost a party leadership review on April 10, 2016. Mulcair will remain as leader, until his replacement is chosen at a leadership election to be held within two years. The NDP was founded in 1961 out of the merger of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC). The provincial wing of the NDP currently forms government in Alberta. Provincial parties have previously formed governments in British Columbia (1972–1975, 1991–2001), Nova Scotia (2009–2013), Ontario (1990–1995), Saskatchewan (1971–1982, 1991–2007), and Manitoba (1969–1977,1981–1988, 1999–2016), and the territorial party formed the government in Yukon (the only territory with a partisan legislature) from 1985–1992 and 1996–2000. Unlike other political parties in Canada, the federal and provincial (or territorial) level NDPs are fully integrated, and have shared membership. Historically, the NDP has been Canada's third largest party in Parliament, at times aligning itself with the Liberal Party of Canada, as it did during the minority government of Pierre Trudeau. Following the 1993 federal election the NDP was reduced to fourth place behind the Bloc Québécois, a position it would maintain for most of the next two decades. In the 2011 federal election under the leadership of Jack Layton, the NDP won the second-most seats in the Canadian House of Commons, gaining the title of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition for the first time in the party's history. The NDP then lost 59 seats during the 2015 federal election and fell back to third place in Parliament. The NDP evolved in 1961 from a merger of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF grew from populist, agrarian and socialist roots into a modern socialist party. Although the CCF was part of the Christian left and the Social Gospel movement, the NDP is secular and pluralistic. It has broadened to include concerns of the New Left, and advocates issues such as LGBT rights, international peace, and environmental stewardship. New Democrats today advocate, among other things: +Four years of budget surpluses relying on tax increases on corporations and ending tax breaks for stock options +Increasing corporate tax rate from 15% to 17% and lower the small business tax rate from 11% to 9% +Create a national cap and trade system to lower greenhouse gas emissions +Reopen the constitution and win the unanimous support of the provinces to abolish the Senate +Maintenance and expansion of human rights and civil rights, including: gender equality, equal rights for LGBTQA citizens, rights for people with physical and mental disabilities, workers' rights, and Aboriginal peoples' treaty, land, and constitutional rights +Promoting Interculturalism and an intercultural understanding of Canada +Expanding public health care, including a prescription drug coverage plan costing $2.6 billion over four years +Take in 10,000 Syrian refugees immediately and 9,000 per year afterwards +Spend $595 million to create $15 per day universal daycare and one million daycare spaces +Reinstate the federal minimum wage to give workers in federally regulated industries such as rail and air transportation, banking, and telecommunications a $15 per hour wage +Reducing poverty in Canada +Social assistance policies that reflects citizens' needs and assist their re-entry to the work force +National water safety standards +Implementing mixed-member proportional representation +Expanding funding for public transportation +A foreign policy that emphasizes diplomacy, peacekeeping, and humanitarian aid instead of offensive military action +Decriminalizing marijuana en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democratic_Party en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
