So, as some may know the NDP is currently in debt.
At my SYND meeting yesterday we received a questionnaire on the upcoming sask. Leadership NDP race budget.
I’d like to share some of them with you:
To run for leader you must pay an entrance fee of 6,000 dollars. Should we lower, raise, or keep this fee the same? Why?
We voted mostly to lower it to around 5,000. Our reasoning being that we appeal to a lot of the ‘lower-class’ citizens and therefore making it more feasable for them to be able to run if they wanted to.
The current budget for each candidate to spend on their campaign is 200,000 dollars. Should we lower, raise, or keep this fee the same?
We voted on keeping it the same, but nobody was against lowering it. We looked at the figures of last election which showed the winner spent just under 200,000 dollars, while the others spent quite a bit under. As a sidenote, nobody was for increasing it.
Opinions?
