We aren't asking the Alberta NDP or our fellow members to commit to a name change today.

We are asking to have an open conversation about the idea, its merits, and if it will give us a better chance of winning the next election.

We owe it to Albertans to do what it takes to bring a progressive government back into power.

Properly funding education, preserving public health care, and addressing climate change; these things are all more important than saving the NDP brand.
We can't if we don't win.

Having said that, we are not suggesting a name change is the only thing that can help the Alberta NDP.

But if our name is hurting us in places where we aren't winning seats (rural Alberta), we owe it to our candidates to give them a fighting chance at the doors.

We have seen that the Alberta NDP could be missing out on a significant chunk of voters who are open to voting for us.

In an election that was decided by a handful of votes in key ridings, we owe it to Albertans to find ways to welcome more people into our party.

The polling conducted by Janet Brown found that there was up to 24% of voters in the Alberta NDP universe that we could be missing out on - a number that could have changed the outcome of the election.

The name isn't the silver bullet to winning, but it is something to explore.
