    understated detail: NDP snuck up on Libs? that’s a pleasant surprise. Maybe people did notice that all of recent progressive changes were forced by NDP onto Libs… interesting

      looking at the graph it does leave impression that Lib losses went straight to NDP gains

      Now imagine what a jump we could see should the NDP install a charismatic, no nonsense, working class leader with union credentials.

        That’s the biggest thing they could do

        Singh just isn’t a winner. He doesn’t get good media spots, he doesn’t push the message of what he can do, he is less negative than Mulcair was, but he’s not inspiring and hopeful like Layton.

        Actually the current situation is very similar to Layton’s time before the NDP exploded in popularity.
