===========================================================
The left has traditionally comprised those individuals who demand a
direct benefit from their government.  Organized labour, the poor etc.

It is possible that these individuals may now be forced to find a
niche in a party besides the NDP.  For that I feel we will be much
better off.  We are still going to get the provincial versions of Bob
White et al but I bet many of the union members will shift to one of
the other parties and in so doing will give that party a broader
constituent base and a less confrontational outlook.
