I believe you're correct. The NDP has in recent years pursued the kind of opportunistic identity games the Libs have played, largely ignoring the bread-and-butter issues that concern most Canadians. And there's the very real conflict between the radical Leap agenda, to which a proportion of the NDP elite is attached, and more realistically understanding and addressing the economic needs of ordinary Canadians. I don't tend to see the conflict as being between silver-spoon socialists (most of them aren't actually socialists) and regular folk so much as between ivory tower ideologues and an electorate that for the most part has to survive in the real world.
