New Politics Initiative

The New Politics Initiative (or NPI) was a faction of Canada's New Democratic Party. It was generally viewed to be further left than Alexa McDonough's leadership, but not as far left as the Socialist Caucus. The NPI never articulated a specific plan for how social movements could be integrated into the NDP. At the NDP convention held in Winnipeg in November 2001, opponents of the initiative used this lack of detail to defeat the proposal. The NPI's resolution did manage to win the support of almost 40% of convention delegates.
