REGINA--The NDP is looking for a new name and the Saskatchewan Party wants to help them out. 

Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall is inviting Saskatchewan voters to come up with a new name for the tired, old NDP in light of the news that the NDP will be considering a name change at its upcoming convention.  People can suggest a new name for the NDP at the Saskatchewan Party Caucus website.

“Everywhere I go, people have all kinds of names for this NDP government,” Wall said.  “Most of them aren’t very flattering.

“We want to give Saskatchewan people the opportunity to suggest some of those names, and we’ll pass those suggestions along to the NDP, since they have trouble coming up with new ideas of their own.”

Wall said he understands the NDP’s problem with its current name.

“They’re not new.  They’re not democratic.  And, from what we hear from inside their caucus meetings these days, it’s not much of a party.  You can see why they want to change their name.”

Wall noted that even NDP Industry Minister Eric Cline seems to support the idea of a name change.  Cline is whining about the Saskatchewan Party using the province’s name and said maybe the NDP should use ‘Saskatchewan’ in its name.

“The NDP keep stealing our ideas and now they want to steal our name,” Wall said. 

Wall said that while the Saskatchewan Party is obviously having fun with the NDP’s name change debate, it points to more serious problems within the failing NDP government.

“The NDP is obviously getting desperate and wants to run from its record,” Wall said.  “Saskatchewan people are demanding change, and that doesn’t mean a name change.  It means a change of government.”
