I've been hearing a lot of NDP advertisements on Canadian AM radio. What US party do they have the most in common with? Green party?

I don't know! Maybe like the Democrats, in that the unions love them?! Except more LEFT, for as far as THAT word can hold any meaning. The closest party to the Greens is the Green Party.

What about the Conservatives? They've promised to RAISE taxes on the LOWEST income bracket, and are reducing the personal tax exemption by a few hundred dollars.

If you know what's good for you you won't touch Tories with a bargepole.

Also, there's a HUGE difference between WANTING to reduce taxes and reducing taxes.

Also, the NDP *do* support lowering the lowest personal income rate and increasing the personal tax exemption. So, uh, basically you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

re resp:10 The lowering of the personal income tax rate and the increase in the basic personal credit amount are policies which were introduced by (surprise!) the federal (Liberal) government in November. Jack Layton said he opposed the new tax cuts introduced by the the Liberals and the Conservatives during the last election campaign. I sure hope you're not one of those awful people who cheat the tax man, scholar. Being an NDP voter and all.
