The federal NDP released its internal campaign review Friday, largely avoiding casting blame on senior party officials and instead citing issues that were beyond the control of New Democrats for its worst election loss.

“The overall verdict from campaign staff was that the NDP ran a technically solid campaign in a brutal environment,” the report said. “Most agreed that even significantly better decisions would likely not have changed the overall outcome in terms of seats.”

The report bases its findings on the views of former and current members and does not offer a path forward.
