Suggestions of merging the N.D.P. and the Liberal Party of Canada are usually met with indignant disdain by both parties. They protest and state that they have different viewpoints and emphases and thus could never and should never combine
If their actions are analysed they both come under the broad statement of: “Tax or Borrow and Spend.” Despite their various protests and statements that is what they both end up doing.
Most liberals will acknowledge this similarity but still indignantly insist that : “After all we are Liberals and they are N.D.P.”
This seems to be the essential difference between the two parties. The Liberals feel superior and above the N.D.P. so why would they lower themselves
There it is — The Liberals are really a group of snobbish N.D.P.s and that certainly explains a lot of their talk and actions.
