misnomer: NDP + 41%

December 16, 2002

NDP + 41%

According to an announcement I recieved today, the NDP's membership has increased by 24,168, or 41%, since they changed the party leadership election to one-member-one-vote.

I guess being more democratic is one way to get a lot of attention. If the NDP (New Democratic Party, Canada's left wing political party) is ever going to get in the news for something that isn't a fabricated scandal, that should do it.

But I'm not holding my breath.

About

Misnomer is a weblog about the politics of new and old media, foreign policy, tech, culture, philosophy, and photography. It is maintained by Dru Oja Jay, who edits a newspaper called the Dominion. He lives in Mile End, a neighbourhood of Montréal, Québec, which is, in some ways, a part of Canada, which in turn subsists on occupied native land to which Canada doesn't actually hold the title. He also travels a lot.

The Dominion

The Dominion is a newspaper with the aim of promoting decent journalism, annoying the overwhelmingly right wing Canadian press, and being non-profit and democratically accountable. All at once. This newspaper also has its own weblog, where I post often.

Others

Some other folks who contribute to misnomer from time to time include Kendall Clark, John Haney, Amanda Jernigan, Ola Mork, and Sylvia Nickerson.
