Mulcair will target young voters

It seems that Thomas Mulcair’s first move is to go for the young ones. CTV reports the newly-appointed NDP leader wants to target young voters in the next election.

He says the NDP’s biggest challenge is to draw in people who believe in the NDP ideals but who don’t vote.

Mulcair was elected as the new NDP leader on Saturday night. He won the last round of voting with 57.1 per cent of the votes. He beat six other candidates for the position.

Mulcair says reaching out of the NDP’s traditional audience will help them win the next federal election.
