Ehh the NDP are 5th, maybe even 6th, in a four horse race. They know that and therefore are not going to try anything notable.
What is the other party/parties who might finish above the NDP after Tories/Liberals/Greens?
People's Alliance of New Brunswick won three seats last time and ended up backing the PC minority govt. Hard to forget about them. Expectations are that the NBPA will be cannibalized like what the Tories did to the Lib-Dems in 2015, but we don't have a poll to confirm this.
We do now.

Yeah, the NBPA supporters seem to be very comfortable with Higgs & the PCs, given how Higgs has hinted at doing things that they want (e.g., reviewing the language requirements for governmental jobs) & how Higgs' instinct is to basically cut services to improve NB's financial situation. There's a lot Higgs/PCs & the NBPA have in common, so if I put myself in the shoes of an NBPA supporter, why would I waste my vote on them instead of the PCs?
Also, lol at the thought of the NDP cracking 5%, might as well just add a couple of their points to the Greens or Liberals.
