This will only happen if Bob Rae, former NDP Ontario Premier, wins the leadership convention.
If Ignatief wins, he will push the Liberals closer to the Conservatives in ideology. Frankly, I'm really surprised that Iggy isn't a member of the Conservative party. If the Progressive Conservative party still existed, I suspect he'd be a member.
