加拿大新民主党是加拿大政坛上重要的政治力量。自建党以来,新民主党在联邦大选、地方政府选举中取得较好成绩,并曾在多个地方省份执掌政权。但是,新民主党在发展中存在一系列制约因素。若想克服这些制约因素,竞逐联邦政权,新民主党还须不断加强自身建设、明确党的定位、扩大选民基础,并积极争取与其他党派的合作。 The New Democratic Party of Canada is an important political force in Canada’s political arena. Since its founding, the new Democratic Party has achieved good results in the election of the federal and local governments and has held power in several local provinces. However, there are a series of constraints on the development of the new Democratic Party. If we want to overcome these constraints and compete for the federal government, the new Democrats must continue to step up their own building, clarify the party’s position, expand the base of voters, and actively seek cooperation with other parties.
