Blog Updating- ONDY Hookup

Among other blog improvements I've done recently is my inclusion of the Ontario New Democratic Youth headlines on the right sidebar. They seem to update almost daily mostly outlining McGuinty's Liberal government broken promises and betrayal of any sort of left of centre policies. Granted this is easy to do since Dalton McGuinty more then any other politician cant keep a promise to save his life. To give him the benefit of the doubt he probably doesn't break promises in his sleep; although how he can live with himself let alone sleep is beyond me.

Gotta love the Youth wing of all party as they are always more radical then your parent party filled matured politicians rather than fiery ideologues. Parent parties often clamp down on their youth wings radicalism to quote Doug in his If there is hope blog:

As the party marched rightward during the 1960s, despite helping gain some important social reforms, the base of the party moved to the left. By 1972, a large, young and influential radical socialist caucus within the NDP known as "the Waffle", got official support from the New Democratic Youth, and even
managed to take control of the New Brunswick New Democrats (the provincial party, intertwined with the national party). Its leader, James Laxer ran for the party leadership but lost. In response, NDP leader David Lewis, with the backing of the labour leaders, effectively expelled The Waffle, dissolved the New Democratic Youth and even disbanding the New Brunswick New Democrats. (The International Socialists formed out of the remnants of the Waffle around 1974). This paved the way for Ed Broadbent's "Third Way" leadership.

And a similar restraint can be seen on the right side of the political spectrum with the close vote against creating an official youth wing at the Conservative Party's of Canada recent convention. I like youth wings because they are straight up with no doublespeak. This is straight from the ONDY's mandate:

The ONDY will not rest until capitalism has been eradicated and replaced with a democratic, classless and socialist society. Only then will all people throughout the world have the opportunity to enjoy free, happy and meaningful lives.

Check out the rest if only because it is refreshing to see a party officially lie down their long-term goals if any besides getting elected to power by any means necessary including abandoning your core principals.
