 | Secular Socialists: The CCF/NDP in Ontario, A Biography Subjects: New Democratic Party of Ontario -- History; Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Ontario Section -- History; Ontario -- Politics and government -- 1923–1961; Ontario -- Politics and government -- 1961–; Secular Socialists is a comprehensive history of the NDP in Ontario - and its predecessor, the CCF - from its beginnings in the early 1930s to the contemporary period. It is also a provocative analysis of the survival of the CCF/NDP in the ideologically hostile environment of Ontario. Morley considers the party structure, the ideological forces that have shaped the party platform, the relationship between the caucus and the party executive and membership, the membership and ordinary conventions, and such factional disputes as the expulsion of Communists and the Waffle affair.
