An analysis of the Waffle group, focuing on the Ontario Waffle but including its national context and its relationship to the federal NDP as well as to the Ontario NDP. Hackett stresses two main themes: the heterogeneity of the Waffle coaltion and the ambiguity of its task; and the limitations of the NDP as a potential vehicle for the socialist transformation of Canada, given the ideological traditions, and the political and social interests, which it embodies.
