Collapse of NDP fearlessly dismantled by James Moore

The New Democratic Party (NDP) is facing a critical juncture, with the leadership race now underway and the party grappling with a series of challenges.

Jagmeet Singh, who led the NDP for 7.5 years, has been widely criticized for cratering almost every aspect of the party during his leadership. His tenure has been marked by significant losses, with the party losing 17 seats in the April election and falling to a meager 7 seats, resulting in the loss of official party status in parliament.

The NDP's future is uncertain, with potential outcomes including disintegration, a culture war leadership race, or collapsed infrastructure and financial mess. An Angus Reid report found that only 13% of Canadians say they will definitely consider the NDP in a future election, a stark contrast to the party's historical role as a consistent voice for the economically voiceless and passionate defenders of the collective interests.

The NDP's debts are continuing to pile up, and the party is currently broke with no resources to organize and prepare for an election in this minority parliament. The signature collecting, team building, and fundraising for the leadership race is underway, but the candidates who announced their intention to lead the NDP after the defeat in the April 2023 election are not mentioned in the provided search results.

Heather McPherson and Avi Lewis are preparing their campaigns to lead the NDP. The leadership race will take place from now through to March 29 in Winnipeg. However, the NDP has not yet announced a plan to address their collapsed infrastructure and financial issues, which are key concerns for many party members.

One of the most contentious issues surrounding the leadership race is the expectation that it will siphon available donors away from party giving towards candidate giving. This could further exacerbate the party's financial woes.

Former NDP MP Charlie Angus has criticized Jagmeet Singh's leadership, stating that the NDP stopped being the New Democratic Party of Canada and became a leader-driven movement under his leadership. Jagmeet Singh's tactical decision to wed his political fortunes to those of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also been a point of contention for many within the party.

The NDP premiers David Eby and Wab Kinew have not yet commented on the current state of the party. James Moore, a former federal cabinet minister under prime minister Stephen Harper, has not been mentioned as a candidate in the leadership race.

In the midst of these challenges, the NDP continues to struggle to regain its footing and rebuild its reputation as a formidable political force in Canada. The outcome of the leadership race will be crucial in determining the party's future trajectory.
