In a stinging post-mortem of the June 2022 election, the NDP pulled few punches.15-page report“Many of our voters stayed home. The remarkable 13 drop in turnout across the province came mostly at our expense,”That’s a reference to the 43.5 per cent of eligible voters who cast ballots last year compared with 56.7 per cent in 2018.
“When the votes were counted, we dropped to 31 seats from 40 and lost 813,000 votes, or 42 per cent from our vote in 2018 — more than the drop for any other party,” noted the review, the result of “more than 400 conversations that have taken place over the past six months.” “Although we had retained our position as the official opposition and the only party other than the government recognized at Queen’s Park, some felt this had as much to do with a weak Liberal campaign as it did with our actions.”
Indeed, the Liberals, who only won eight seats in the 124-member legislature, actually received more votes than the New Democrats — 23.9 per cent of the popular vote to 23.7 per cent for the NDP.in January bemoaned an unfocused campaign platform, inadequate voter-identification data and poor candidate vetting.
