NDP to consider name change


From a CBC news story:

NDP to consider name change

Last Updated: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 | 9:27 PM ET

The federal New Democratic Party will consider dropping the word "new" from its name when delegates gather for the party's annual convention in Halifax in two weeks.


The 1,000 delegates expected to attend the conference will either move to adopt the abbreviated moniker right away, reject it, or appoint a task force to study the name change.



One is, of course, welcome to reflect on whether "branding" is a paramount problem for this party today, as opposed to, say, administrative inertia, muddled policies, or what have you.
