NDP. might -be. clad in three-piece - pinstripes, underneath. they were still wearing the same old red underwear. Strip that statement of its obvious political rhetoric and you’ll still find enough substancce that should give the NDP food for thought. In fact, the biggest challenge facing Barrett’s successor is to drag the party — kicking and screaming if necessary — into the modern world. Like it or not, the NDP’s policies do not reflect the realities of the 80s. They’re stuck somewhere in the 50s and that’s not good enough for a genuine alternative to them to. Until the: last election, the Socreds were virtually indistinguishable from any other. party, including the NDP. Aside from the brave right-wing rhetoric, the Socreds had been operating from a base that was smack in the centre of the political spectrum, a base they the Tories and. the. NDP, left, but not much. The big transition came with the last election and any doubts in the public mind were removed when the government introduced its budget on July 7. For the first time in recent memory, British Columbia had a truly right wing government, and I’m not using that term in a derogatory way. The government simply © lived up to its own promise’ and the eee ators of its supporters. wil be e held at the NEW. Friendship: Baptist.Church - Wednesday, November 9, 1983 policies that would reflect that mood. Frustrated by the recession’ and. the havoc it was creating, the public wanted less government, less bureaucracy. On July 7, they got just that. The entire strategy is based on the hopes that less government: will create: better opportunities for the private . sector, eventually resulting in jobs and prosperity. We’ll find out whether or not it works. Meanwhile, the NDP is still stuck with its antiquated policies. In most countries which have had, or still have social democratic governments, the equivalent to our NDP. has realized that socialist policies of the 40s and 50s are not only out of date but actually destructive. Neanderthals in the NDP in British Columbia who would nationalize B.C. Tel at the drop of a hat. And it doesn’t stop. there. Social services; for instance, must be based to some extent on the public’s ability to pay. The Socreds have realized that. Hence although: they could have - implemented it a little less crudely and done a better job their restraint. program, of selling it to the public. The answer for the NDP is obvious. The party must first of all rid itself of any notions that state-ownership is desirable. Instead, the party must devise policies that will impose controls on the private sector, controls with which the private sector can live and which will bring the _maximum benefits for the public. And the NDP must also realize that in tough: economic times, certain programs. can no ‘one be offered and others must be scaled down. in its dusty rhetoric. Collectively, the NDP comes across - reshaping ‘the party. There will be a lot of resistance | from the grass roots, but if the party ever wants to get to power again and,:-more important, if it wants to use that power for the benefit of British Columbia, the changes -willhave to come. ~ ‘The NDP has accused peeihies Bennett of not “telling call 595- S61.
