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.
A long skull and a small head..witch one is better for the Nation ?
Haha would love to see PM Gump as Singh's office boy
Good idea. Then we can vote both of them out of Official Party Status and make it between the CPC and PPC.
But Jagmeet just got a job!
seems a tad counter-intuitive to suggest the answer to the left's electoral weakness is for them to disband entirely
this is the stupidest take ever
Would make sense seeing as the Liberals hijacked the NDPs platforms
nope parties are too different from each other
Not going to happen.
