NDP Party to find new leader in ground breaking reality series...

BC's NDP Party have just announced plans to launch a new reality series on CTV entitled "BC's Next NDP Leader". The series will consist of 12 episodes in which NDP party hopefuls will compete for leadership and ultimately control of the fractured group, still reeling from the dramatic exit of it's recent "dear leader" Carole James.

Since James exit late last year, many internal candidates have put their name on the ballot however none of them seem to be garnering any support or interest from the party leadership team. Says outspoken MLA Jenny Kwan, "We decided that we needed some fresh talent and we probably need to look outside to get it. The ideal candidate is going to be bitter, have a real chip on their shoulder, looking to blame everyone else for their misfortune, and ideally they'll also have a very strong sense of entitlement, and very little personal responsibility. They'll basically looking for the same thing many of our supporters are - something for nothing."

The final 12 contestants will be selected from thousands of hopefuls by producers and an as yet unnamed selection of 3 NDP MLA's who will judge the performances week to week. Each week a contestant will be eliminated until the last contestant standing takes the leadership role. Contestants will battle it out in preset challenges; examples include: pandering to and winning support of public unions, giving money to every group asking without any regard to budget and stalling and blocking any and every public infrastructure project proposed.

The CTV Series is set to air at the beginning of February.
