While Jagmeet Singh addresses his third week of campaign, the leader of the NDP is dropping his assertive messages that he is running to be prime minister.
Singh no longer explicitly repeats the line in news conferences.
On Wednesday and Friday, CBC News asked Singh if he was still running for the country’s main political work.
Without responding directly, he invoked the last two minority parliaments, where the new Democrats used their position to press for things that said the liberals would not do.
“Everything the liberals point out, all the things that say they achieved, would literally have happened but for us,” said Singh. “These are all the things that we force them to do.”
Singh said that his party pressed the liberals to implement Pharmacare, dental care, legislation that prohibits replacement workers and two weeks of illness paid for workers in workplaces regulated by the federal government.
He then launched to choose more newly democrats, since he had demonstrated what the center of the center of the left could do with about two dozen parliamentarians.
“Then, if you choose us enough, choose more from us, we will do a great job for you,” Singh said in Winnipeg on Wednesday.
The leader of the NDP, Jagmeet Singh, speaking from Montreal on the 13th of the electoral campaign, answers a question about whether he is still being executed to become prime minister in the middle of a perceived change in the language he has been using in the campaign.
Singh has not yet granted defeat
At the same time, Singh did not admit defeat or closed the door to form a government.
When asked as recently as last Saturday, Singh said “he’s running” to be prime minister. The next day, when asked again, he modified his answer: “I would honor me to serve as a prime minister, and I will fight every day to make sure that people’s life are better,” he said in an ad in Port Moody, BC on March 30.
Together with the change of message, Singh has also opened the door to work with the liberals if they form the government, while they make it clear who would not work.
“I don’t want to presuppose the result of the elections, but I can tell you a very clear thing: the new Democrats, myself as a leader, we will never support Pierre Poilievre as prime minister,” he said last Saturday in Ottawa.
The new Singh message track is a subtle recognition of where things are with voters, who suggest that the surveys have solidly aligned behind the liberals, then the conservatives. The CBC survey tracker adds the main national public opinion surveys. His seat modeling on Friday suggests that the new Democrats could be on their way to losing most of their seats, winning up to nine from April 4; They currently have 24.
It could also be seen as a Singh attempt to reach the orange voters who have potentially turn to other matches, and who see this choice as a binary choice between conservatives and liberals. For them, Singh is making the case that a vote for the NDP would not be in vain.
It makes sense that the party can be making a different launch from the voters, according to Karl Bélang, former leader of the previous leader of the NDP Tom Mulcair, and now head of Traxxion strategies.
“Everyone has seen the survey and movement in the electorate,” Bélanger said. “Then, by launching a message that focuses more on what [a] The considerable contingent of the NDP parliamentarians can do and how they can control a potential majority liberal government, is giving a reason for new Democrats to be elected. “
The leader goes to the survey aggregators
Singh’s former communications director Mélanie Richer said the new Democrats also tell the Canadians who would be better with a minority government.
She adds that with the growing probability of a liberal majority government, the so -called progressive voters could see less need to vote strategically to prevent conservatives from getting to power.
The leader of the NDP, Jagmeet Singh, no longer asks voters to make him prime minister. The power and policy insiders panel discuss how the call to choose NDP parliamentarians to have a possible liberal minority government for accounts will take place on election day.
“When we see that type of majority territory for liberals, that is where we see that people give permission to vote for the person they want,” Richer said. “So we see that people move in Toronto, and places like Montreal vote for the things they want to do, and that is where we see that more NDP enter the mixture.”
As for Singh, although it may no longer be so emboldened to say directly that it is postulated for Prime Minister, it has made it clear that it is sure that its party is not on the way to total annihilation.
On Friday in Montreal, he fired the voting aggregators, in one of their most acute reprudes of modeling.
“These aggregators were greatly wrong,” Singh said about the modeling of the survey in the past, although he did not provide examples. “So I am not worried what the aggregators say.
“I am worried about what is happening in our country.”
