The Jack Layton quote is, well, Layton being a bit "light headed". He seems to me like he's that irritating super positive guy who literally bounces around in a near prance singing "la la la la la" all day long while farting butterflies.
A Liberal-NDP merger -- interesting. A short term coalition I could see, but a merger is something I'd never even considered. Would they be called the "New Liberal Party"? Their colour scheme could be pink with orange highlights perhaps...
No merger will occur until after the Liberal leadership convention in May. And May cannot come soon enough for the Liberals.
