Am I the only one who finds the old NDP mantra that the Liberals "campaign from the left and govern from the right" a bit hypocritical, given that (yes of course they've never governed federally) that almost every NDP government I can think of on the provincial levels have been rather centrist? People forget that Bob Rae was such a disaster in Ontario not because he actually governed like a New Democrat, but because he did the opposite of what he campaigned for on so many things (particularly labour relations and social program spending). The most recent Saskatchewan and Manitoba tenures of NDP government were classic centrist Third Way, fiscally centre-right and socially centre-left ideology. I'm less familiar with their track record in BC during the 90s, can somebody fill me in on that (other than just saying "it was a disaster/it was great")?
