And it could win, if Canada's left-leaning parties learn to put outcome before ideology.

The overall feel of a merged party probably wouldn't be dramatically different.

If there were massive chasms between the ideological positions of the Liberals and the NDP, a merger wouldn't make sense as anything short of a cynical power grab. And many NDP and Liberal loyalists would seemingly fight to the death to defend their respective niches. But the reality is that these differences are more important to party members than they are to voters.carbon market

The big question is how successful a merger would be given the political risks that such a major upheaval would bring. If it only improves their chances marginally, there isn't a whole lot of incentive to do it. This makes it important to understand the impact that a merger would have on the electorate. While voters could react in many different ways, it's likely most NDP and Liberal supporters would vote for the new party, while a segment would feel alienated enough to defect.

Would make sense seeing as the Liberals hijacked the NDPs platforms

nope parties are too different from each other

Not going to happen.
