There used to be a T-shirt that said, "I think, therefore I am ... NDP." It's that "thinking" that long-time supporters of the NDP believe distinguishes them from members of the other political parties.
They tell the story -- perhaps apocryphal -- about a member of the Liberal party who went as an observer to an NDP convention. When he saw all the delegates seated around tables that were covered with papers, pencils, pamphlets, he asked, wryly, "What are they doing? Playing bingo?" NDP members love that. They know that lowly Liberal delegates don't work at their convention. They know they're there just to approve policy that's set by the bigwigs in the backrooms, behind closed doors.
