Mamdani's campaign platform has been considered by outlets to be similar to the policies pursued by former New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia and former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.[91][92] The German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle classifies Mamdani's policies as being on the center-left of the global political spectrum.[93] This is unusual in the United States, as the 1950s Second Red Scare and the 1990s Democratic Pivot towards centrist neoliberalism occurred, which shifted the overton window of American politics significantly to the right compared to almost any other liberal democracies, and led national politics to being generally restricted between centrists and the hard right.[93] While misinformation has spread during the 2025 New York mayoral race calling his policies radical or communist, there is a consensus among political scientists that his policies are similar to those pursued by mainstream center-left parties in other developed democracies.[93] Mamdani identifies as being within the democratic socialist tradition.[51][94] He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.[60][71] Mamdani has also been called a progressive.[68]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bza5bvcxgkztks5f4kpdypzf/bafkreichoshkqhf5hgr7jutal3jr77bgzjczzwdgd24km3bt43agarges4@jpeg)

Not sure that I remember a time when both a Federal and BC Election seemed possible at the same time!
It is being considered only because the parties in power think they could come away with proper majority governments.
I think that is a very big risk. And one I am not willing to take!
