I don't see any rising excitement in the least. What I do see is waning interest in the NDP party.
I think Mr Horgan's problem is he hasn't laid out his plan. He keeps saying the NDP can do better than the Liberals, but doesn't say how. You want excitement, tell the people what you stand for. If the Liberals plan to cut taxes as I expect they will, I can't see many embracing a higher tax environment. Most are already tapped out. So Mr Horgan, how do you plan to pay for $10 day care? Cue the shrug.
My guess is come May 1st there will still be unfilled NDP candidate positions. And I suspect very little more excitement than already exists.
